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

photons in the primary treatment of supraglottic larynx cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, tonsil cancer, base of tongue cancer, and in the postoperative, adjuvant setting. The results are in various stages of presentation and publication. The results are similar to and no worse than historical reports using Co-60 gamma rays.

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.
