Evaluation of tumour markers in molar pregnancy.

H M Hegab1, A E Schindler, M Rizk, M Ramadan.   

Abstract

METHODS: Circulating CA 125, CA 19-9, CA 15-3 and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels were studied in sixty patients with hydatidiform mole and in twenty normal pregnant women of a corresponding duration of pregnancy. DISCUSSION: Serum levels of CA 125, CA 15-3 and CEA are not affected by molar pregnancy. The mean level of CA 19-9 in maternal serum is significantly lower in cases of molar pregnancy when compared with cases of normal pregnancy. The amnion cell origin of CA 19-9 could explain the statistically significant difference between cases of therapeutic abortion and cases of HM (complete HM lacks amniotic membrane).
