Chemical Assay of Iron in Ovarian Cysts: A New Diagnostic Method to Evaluate Endometriotic Cysts
Gynecologic and obstetric investigation ·doi:10.1159/000009999

CA-125 is abundantly secreted from ovarian endometriotic cysts, but is not specific to endometriosis. In order to develop a new, more specific diagnostic marker for endometriosis, the iron concentrations in various ovarian cysts were assaye…
