摘要
Serial radioimmunoassays measuring placental lactogen, carcinoembryonic antigen, specific chorionic gonadotropin, and α-fetoprotein were performed on sera from 58 patients with advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma. Consistent, positive correlations between disease status and marker substance levels were not observed. This study clearly demonstrates that the above-mentioned marker substances are not of clinical value in the follow-up of patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma. The quest to find useful marker substances must continue. © 1979.
