## Abstract ## BACKGROUND A prospective study was undertaken within the Gynecologic Oncology Group to determine whether serum levels of soluble tumor necrosis factor receptors I (sTNFRβI) and II (sTNFRβII), alone or in combination with CA 125, were associated with clinicopathologic characteristics
## Abstract Elevated plasma levels of apolipoprotein (a) have been reported earlier in cancer patients. In order to investigate the potential of apolipoprotein(a) as an ovarian tumour marker, plasma apolipoprotein(a) and CA125 levels were measured in healthy women and women with benign or malignant
W e read with interest the article published in Cancer earlier this year regarding the elevation of CA 125 in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and its normalization with clinical response. 1 Earlier a case report had also emerged about elevation of CA 125 in a patient within tuberculous peritoni
## Background: Ca 125 is a glycoprotein produced by epithelial ovarian tumors and by mesothelial cells; its levels also have been shown to be elevated in patients with non-hodgkin's lymphoma (nhl). ## Methods: The authors evaluated serum ca 125 levels in patients with nhl to elucidate the frequen
