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
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
We studied whether detection of messenger-RNA (mRNA) for the beta-subunit of chorionic gonadotropin (CG) in urinary cells from bladder cancer patients could be used as a marker of disease activity. Sixty-eight urine samples from patients under follow-up for bladder cancer and 23 samples from patien
