Background. Some patients with lung cancer have been found to have elevated levels of serum immunoreactive human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)/hCG@ (IR-@), but it is uncertain whether it would be valuable as a tumor marker. Recently, IR-@ has been demonstrated to consist of at least three different m
The authors examined the localization and behavior of &human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG)-positive cells in human gastric noncancerous mucosa and in gastric malignant tumors, using immunohistochemistry and the anti-B-HCG antibody. The j3-HCG-positive cells were located mainly in the antral mucosa an
