"The serum hCG level is a sensitive indicator for following the disease process, including treatment response and detection of persistent tumor and relapse," write Colleen M. Feltmate, MD, and ...

Serum hCG levels of 1000, 1500 and 2000IU/l have been used. [12,13] However, a study on the use of varying discriminatory levels has demonstrated that using a single value of serum hCG in a PUL ...

Beta-hCG is a shorthand term for a blood test used to measure hCG levels in early pregnancy. Find out what these levels mean. Many pregnant people and those trying to conceive may have heard the ...

Serum hCG regression in patients requiring combination chemotherapy (study group) compared with serum hCG cutoff levels at 99 and 97.5% specificity based on ROC analysis of hCG levels among the ...

For their analysis, the researchers evaluated serum hCG levels at baseline and between 1 to 4 days after treatment to predict whether participants had successfully passed their pregnancy.

In the largest study to date, we describe the regression of serum hCG levels in patients with low-risk PTD successfully treated with MTX. At high specificity, hCG levels in the first few courses of ...

Levels of hCG are substantially elevated during the active state of gestational trophoblastic disease (e.g., partial and complete moles of gestational trophoblastic disease have an average hCG serum ...

The laboratory was informed of the preliminary diagnosis, and after multiple dilutions, repeated testing of the serum showed a β-hCG level of 1.5 million mIU per milliliter.

Patients who have a serum beta hCG level of less than 5000 mIU per milliliter, absent embryonic cardiac activity, and a size of ectopic pregnancy of less than 4 cm are eligible for methotrexate ...

Purpose A generally accepted definition for resistance to first-line single-agent chemotherapy for persistent trophoblastic disease (PTD) is lacking. In the present study, a normogram for serum human ...
