A surge in the plasma levels of human chorionic gonadotropin and alpha-fetoprotein is indicative of OGMTs. [1] Lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase and cancer antigen 125 might potentially increase as well. [24] To visualize the location and morphology of the tumor, transvaginal ultrasonography is usually employed. [1]
CA 242 is a tumor marker for sialylated Lewis carbohydrates associated with adenocarcinomas and e-selectin-mediated metastatic risk. [1] [2] [3] It is commonly tested along with CEA, CA19-9, and CA242 for detecting pancreatic cancer. [4] The specificity of CA 242 is higher than similar markers.
Tumors with both seminoma and nonseminoma elements or that occur with the presence of AFP should be treated as nonseminomas. Abdominal CT or MRI scans as well as chest imaging are done to detect for metastasis. The analysis of tumor markers also helps in staging. [12] The preferred treatment for most forms of stage 1 seminoma is active ...
A similar use of the thymidine kinase makes use of the presence in some tumor cells of substances not present in normal cells (tumor markers). Such tumor markers are, for instance, CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) and AFP (alpha fetoprotein). The genes for these tumor markers may be used as promoter genes for thymidine kinase. Thymidine kinase ...

Human chorionic gonadotropin is a glycoprotein composed of 237 amino acids with a molecular mass of 36.7 kDa, approximately 14.5kDa αhCG and 22.2kDa βhCG. [4]It is heterodimeric, with an α (alpha) subunit identical to that of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and a β (beta) subunit that is unique to hCG.
