Human chorionic gonadotrophin as an indicator of persistent ges-tational trophoblastic neoplasia
Background : Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) disease is excessive and inappropriate proliferation of trophoblast after termination of the pregnancy. Many attempts have been made to improve follow-up procedures, but no studies have evaluated Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (HCG) as a post treatment indicator. Thus we aimed to know β-HCG variability in post treatment pregnancies. Meth...

متن کاملElevated Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin Due to Pancreatic Cancer
Preoperative pregnancy testing is common practice among anesthesiologists. Little is re-ported in anesthesia literature on causes other than pregnancy for elevated human chorionic go-nadotrophin (hCG) levels. Among these causes is hCG secretion by tumors. This is a report of a female with pancreatic cancer that presented for a Whipple procedure, who on routine pregnancy testing was found to hav...
متن کاملMeasurement of Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG) in the management of Trophoblastic disease
Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG) is mainly a product of the syncytiotropoblastic cells of the placenta although it is also secreted, in lesser quantities, by cytotrophoblastic cells and several nonplacental tissues. It is produced in gestational trophoblastic neoplasms (GTN) and maybe seen in nontrophoblastic neoplasms (Stenman, 2006). hCG is essential in pregnancy as it promotes transformat...
