To confirm the ectopic production of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in lung cancer, we attempted to detect the presence of mRNA transcripts of the alpha and beta genes for hCG in lung cancer tissues obtained from surgical operations. Although we were able to show the presence of hCG beta mRNA tr

Production of the glycoprotein hormone human chorionic gonadotropin โค (hCGโค) has been associated with more aggressive behavior in non-trophoblastic tumors. In this study, the prognostic value of immunohistochemical hCGโค expression was evaluated in 239 patients with colorectal cancer. Paraffin-embedd

## BACKGROUND. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone comprised of two dissimilar subunits (โฃ and โค) and normally is synthesized by trophoblastic tissue. Although hCG expression has been identified in a variety of neoplastic tissues, to the authors' knowledge no investigation
The alpha-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG-alpha) has previously been found to be expressed in hyperplasias and tumours of numerous endocrine tissues including all those involved in MEN-I syndrome except the parathyroid glands. In the present immunohistochemical investigation of 86 patie
