CA19-9 elevation in ovarian mature cystic teratoma: Discrimination from ovarian cancer – CA19-9 level in teratoma [PDF]
We aimed to identify clinical characteristics of ovarian mature cystic teratoma (MCT) in association with CA19-9 elevation, and to determine if CA19-9 is a useful marker in discrimination of MCT from ovarian cancer (OC).Medical records of 322 women with pathologically-confirmed MCT or OC (stage 1 or 2) were reviewed retrospectively.
