Antibody To Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Detected Choriocarcinoma

F Flam, V. Lundström

Abstract

Persistently elevated levels of serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in women call for a tumor investigation, if pregnancy can be ruled out. We present a case of increased hCG concentrations for 1 1/2 years. Radiolabelled antibody directed against the hCG molecule indicated the source of production to be a choriocarcinoma. The patient was cured by multiagent chemotherapy.
