Significance of CEA, AFP, SP1 and HCG as tumor markers in ovarian carcinoma
Neoplasma.
1987.
Abstract
The significance of CEA, AFP, HCG and SP1 determinations in 85 patients with ovarian cancer were analyzed from the point of view of evaluation of the clinical status of the patients. On the basis of the trials it was stated that a satisfactory correlation between the extension of the tumor and the serum CEA level was observed in 26.6% of the cases. The efficiency of monitoring by systematic CEA tests was found to be 17.3%. The determination of AFP and HCG is useful only in cases of tumors with specific histological structures and in problems of differential diagnostics. The testing of SP1 is of no value in clinical practice.
