Overview

An elevated/reduced concentration of serum/blood/urinary/CSF/other [lab test] is diagnostic of [disease name].

OR

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of [disease name] include [abnormal test 1], [abnormal test 2], and [abnormal test 3].

OR

[Test] is usually normal for patients with [disease name].

OR

Some patients with [disease name] may have elevated/reduced concentration of [test], which is usually suggestive of [progression/complication].

OR

There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with [disease name]. The laboratory findings associated with ovarian germ cell tumor are serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), CA-125, and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP).[1]

Ovarian germ cell tumor Laboratory Findings

The tumor marker associated with ovarian germ cell tumor subtypes are as follows:[1]

Ovarian germ cell tumor subtype Tumor markers expressed
Dysgerminoma
Endodermal sinus tumor or yolk sac tumors
Embryonal Carcinoma
  • hCG, AFP
Teratoma
  • Rarely produce tumor markers: AFP and CA-125
Choriocarcinoma
  • hCG
  • Mature teratoma is associated with increased level of CA 19-9. [2]
  • There is a report suggesting a role for increased levels of CA 125, CA 153, and AFP tumor markers in differentiating the immature teratoma and mature teratoma.[3]

There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with [disease name].

OR

An elevated/reduced concentration of serum/blood/urinary/CSF/other [lab test] is diagnostic of [disease name].

OR

[Test] is usually normal among patients with [disease name].

OR

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of [disease name] include:

  • [Abnormal test 1]
  • [Abnormal test 2]
  • [Abnormal test 3]

OR

Some patients with [disease name] may have elevated/reduced concentration of [test], which is usually suggestive of [progression/complication].
