Is inhibin a serum marker for ovarian cancer?
Research endocrinologists are well aware of inhibin and the family of proteins of which it is a part. Inhibin was discovered almost 70 years ago as a product of the gonads that selectively inhibited the secretion of folliclestimulating hormone (FSH) at the level of the pituitary gland. We now know that inhibin is present in at least two biologically active forms (inhibin A and B) as well as in ...
متن کاملElevated serum insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 as a prognostic marker in patients with ovarian cancer.
PURPOSE The purpose of this research was to examine the diagnostic and prognostic significance of elevated serum insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-2 levels in women with ovarian cancer from diagnosis through treatment to relapse or remission. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Serum collected pre- and postoperatively in women newly diagnosed with ovarian cancer, during adjuvant chemotherapy...
متن کاملClinical Utility of Serum Glycodelin as a Novel Marker for Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is a cancerous growth arising from different parts of the ovary. It has been called "Silent killer" because it frequently causes non-specific symptoms. CA125 was the first tumor marker available for detection of ovarian cancer but the major problem is its poor sensitivity and specificity as it is elevated in only 40-50 % of patients with stages І and ІІ ovarian cancer. Glycodelin...
متن کاملCA54/61 as a marker for epithelial ovarian cancer.
Using a new one-step, double-determinant enzyme immunoassay, we performed quantitative measurements of a mucin-type glycoprotein antigen (CA54/61) that we recently detected in sera of ovarian carcinoma patients. When the cutoff value was set at 12 units/ml, at which a high diagnostic efficiency was demonstrated [or at 20 units/ml (mean + 3 SD of healthy females)], the positive rates of ovarian ...
متن کاملElevated Serum C-Reactive Protein as a Prognostic Marker in Small Cell Lung Cancer
PURPOSE Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) is associated with poor prognosis in several tumor types. The purpose of this study was to investigate serum CRP as a prognostic marker in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). MATERIALS AND METHODS The pretreatment serum CRP level was measured in 157 newly diagnosed SCLC patients, and correlation between serum CRP level and other clinical parameters was ana...
