Abstract
Our study reports 6 patients with advanced adenocarcinoma of the fallopian tube, with elevated levels of serum CA 125 (greater than 35 U/ml). In two patients the serum CA 125 values were followed during treatment. In one of them the CA 125 values decreased during clinical remission and increased at the time of tumor progression. In the second patient we observed increasing levels of CA 125 preceding clinical evidence of recurrent disease. The possible usefulness of CA 125 for monitoring patients with tubal cancer is discussed.Entities:
