Significance of Preoperative Serum CA-125 and TPA Concentrations in Patients with Pelvic Tumors
Abstract
-
We measured serum levels of CA-125 and Tissue polypeptide antigen(TPA) in 135 patients with pelvic tumors(129 benign pelvic tumors and 6 malignant ovarian tumors) preoperatively. Each tumor marker was measured by immunoradiometric assay. Serum CA-125 levels of 35.0U/ml, 65.0U/ml and TPA levels of 80.0U/ml, 100.0U/ml were determined as cut-off values. The results were evaluated by each tumor marker and two tumor markers coincidently. The results were as follows : (continue)
