An immunohistochemical study of keratin, carcinoembryonic antigen, human chorionic gonadotropin and alpha-fetoprotein in lung cancer.
Immunohistochemical staining utilizing a peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) technique for keratin, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was performed on paraffin sections from 72 cases of lung cancer obtained at autopsy. Positive reaction was shown in 44% of the cases for keratin, 77% for CEA, and 58% for HCG. AFP was positive in only one c...
متن کاملChanges in serum alpha-fetoprotein and chorionic gonadotropin in response to cancer therapy.
The usefulness of measuring both alpha-fetoprotein and hCG in following the progress of patients with testicular cancers and germ cell tumors is demonstrated. In almost half the cases of testicular cancers studied, only one tumor marker was elevated; in at least one instance, the source of alpha-fetoprotein was eliminated while the source of hCG persisted. A comparison of the hCG method in use ...
متن کاملBeta-human Chorionic Gonadotropin-secreting Lung Adenocarcinoma.
Overexpression of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) is frequently associated with germ cell tumours, especially choriocarcinoma. Ectopic secretion of β-hCG by non-small cell lung cancer is exceptional. We present an exceedingly rare case of pulmonary adenocarcinoma that secretes β-hCG. Our patient is a 62-year-old postmenopausal woman, a nonsmoker, who presented with a six-month history...
متن کاملHuman Chorionic Gonadotropin and Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is well known as a malignancy being strongly influenced by female steroids. Pregnancy is a protective factor against breast cancer. Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a candidate hormone which could mediate this antitumoral effect of pregnancy. For this review article, all original research articles on the role of HCG in breast cancer were considered, which are listed in PubMed...
متن کاملMONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES TO HUMAN ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), a serum glycoprotein belonging to the onco-developmental proteins group, serves as a marker both in cancer research and in studies concerning fetal development and fetal pathophysiology. Monoclonal anti-AFP antibodies are essential reagents in developing appropriate techniques for measurement of this protein. In this study, in order to produce anti-AFP monoclonal a...
