Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and its subunits in plasma, urine, ascites, and tumor extracts from four patients with hCG-producing tumors (undifferentiated cell carcinoma and choriocarcinoma of the bladder, malignant teratoma of the retroperitoneum, and pancreatic carcinoma) were measured by th
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
