## BACKGROUND. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone comprised of two dissimilar subunits (β£ and β€) 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
Expression of the free beta-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCGbeta) in malignant tumors is frequently associated with aggressive disease. We have shown previously that the pretreatment serum concentration of hCGbeta is an independent prognostic variable in patients with renal cell carcinom
