Significance of Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin in Predicting Disease Progression in Uterine Leiomyosarcoma.
Uterine leiomyosarcoma is a high-grade sarcoma that might be associated with dismal outcome. There are no hematological markers that can be used to follow up the recurrence and/or progression of the tumor. We present a case of a 44-year-old female, who was diagnosed with uterine leiomyosarcoma. During her management course, serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) elevation was correlated with clinical and radiological disease progression on two separate occasions. This correlation should be further investigated to potentially integrate serum β-hCG as a predictive tool for clinical behavior and treatment response.
期刊介绍:
World Journal of Oncology, bimonthly, publishes original contributions describing basic research and clinical investigation of cancer, on the cellular, molecular, prevention, diagnosis, therapy and prognosis aspects. The submissions can be basic research or clinical investigation oriented. This journal welcomes those submissions focused on the clinical trials of new treatment modalities for cancer, and those submissions focused on molecular or cellular research of the oncology pathogenesis. Case reports submitted for consideration of publication should explore either a novel genomic event/description or a new safety signal from an oncolytic agent. The areas of interested manuscripts are these disciplines: tumor immunology and immunotherapy; cancer molecular pharmacology and chemotherapy; drug sensitivity and resistance; cancer epidemiology; clinical trials; cancer pathology; radiobiology and radiation oncology; solid tumor oncology; hematological malignancies; surgical oncology; pediatric oncology; molecular oncology and cancer genes; gene therapy; cancer endocrinology; cancer metastasis; prevention and diagnosis of cancer; other cancer related subjects. The types of manuscripts accepted are original article, review, editorial, short communication, case report, letter to the editor, book review.
