ABSTRACT

The issue of serum concentrations of tumor markers in hemodialyzed patients is a widely discussed one due to the fact that these patients are usually at high risk of developing concurrent malignancies on one hand and due to the fact that half-time of these markers is strongly influenced by an impaired renal function. This is a literature review focusing on the role of determination of tumor markers such as CA 125, CA 15-3, AFP in hemodialyzed patients.

Keywords: dialysis, CA 125, CA 15-3, AFP

ABSTRACT

Gastric cancer remains an aggressive malignancy responsible for a high number of deaths annually. An important method used in order to determine the response to treatment, follow-up and detection of recurrence in association with imagistic examinations remains laboratory determination of tumor markers. The most common used tumor markers in patients diagnosed with gastric cancer are CA 72-4, CEA, CA 19-9.

Keywords: gastric cancer, CA 72-4, CEA, CA 19-9

ABSTRACT

ASO reaction is one of the most commonly used laboratory tests especially due to the fact that Group A Streptococcal infection is a very often seen situation. Epidemiological studies have shown that ASO titers widely vary among different age groups and population groups; wide variations related to the moment of determination have been also reported.

Keywords: ASO reaction, Group A streptococcal infection, ASO antibodies

ABSTRACT

Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies due to an aggressive biological behavior of a tumor usually diagnosed in an advanced stage of the disease. Due to the fact that important differences in terms of survival have been observed between cases diagnosed in early stages when compared to those in FIGO stages III-IV, attention was focused on establishing which is the most appropriate laboratory diagnostic test which could help the clinician to diagnose and treat the disease in a less advanced stage. This is a literature review of the most frequently used tumor markers and scores used in ovarian cancer diagnostic and follow up.

Keywords: ovarian cancer, CA 125, HE 4, ROMA score, OVA1
