Tumor markers have proved to be generally useful for diagnosing and monitoring malignancy. In contrast, high levels of tumor markers disturb us for differing benign disease from malignancy. We had 5 cases with benign disease who showed high…

We measured serum levels of CA 125 in 26 patients with external endometriosis, using CA 125 RIA Kits. The normal range was instituted below 39 U/ml. The mean CA 125 level (+/- SD) was 55.1 +/- 24.9 U/ml in patients with external endometrios…

Serum levels of CA 125 in 33 patients with progressive external endometriosis who were treated with 400 mg/day of Danazol for 16 weeks were assayed for an extended period (24-40 weeks), and changes in the CA 125 pattern were analyzed. Patte…

Serum CA 125 levels were assayed in 75 healthy female controls and 34 patients with external endometriosis prior to treatment, during treatment, and after treatment. The results of the assay showed that the mean pretreatment serum CA 125 le…

Abstract For a preoperative differentiation between leiomyomata uteri and adenomyosis, we measured serum levels of the antigen CA 125, which is specific to ovarian non‐mucinous epithelial carcinoma, in patients with benign gynecologic disea…

To differentiate pre-operatively between leiomyomata uteri and adenomyosis, we measured serum levels of an antigen (CA 125) common to most nonmucinous epithelial ovarian carcinoma in patients with benign uterine tumor (11 of leiomyomata ute…
