Ectopic production of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) and human placental lactogen (hPL) by ovarian carcinoma

Characteristics of Soil Nutrients and Their Ecological Stoichiometry in Different Land Use Types in the Nianchu River Basin

“…This study is critical for acquiring a thorough understanding of the basin's current ecological environment, subsequent ecosystem restoration and protection, and providing scientific data for the protection of the Tibetan Plateau ecosystem. A number of studies have been conducted on the Nianchu River basin in recent years, primarily on the community characteristics of wetland soil fauna in the basin [20], hydrological characteristics of the basin and its response to climate change [21], and changes in runoff and glaciers and their influencing factors [22][23][24]. However, there have been fewer studies on terrestrial ecosystems in the basin, particularly soils.…”

Tissue expression of human chorionic gonadotropin ? predicts outcome in colorectal cancer: A comparison with serum expression

“…18,28,29 Other studies indicate that hCG expression is of limited prognostic value. 12,17,30,31 The usefulness of hCG as a prognostic marker in colorectal cancer is also undetermined. Some immunohistochemical studies suggest that it is, 21 or may be, 18,19,22,25 a prognostic marker in colorectal cancer, while in 2 studies it was of no prognostic value.…”

Hormones of the Placenta: hCG and hPL

“…Entirely negative results have been reported in large series of cases of ovarian (Monteiro et al, 1983) and breast cancer (Monteiro et al, 1982). High levels have been found, together with hCG, in a case of ovarian dysgerminoma (Kofler and Spona, 1971).…”
