What are Some Common Biomarkers Used in Gynecology?
Several biomarkers are commonly used in gynecology, including:
CA-125: A protein often elevated in ovarian cancer. HPV DNA: Human papillomavirus DNA testing is crucial for cervical cancer screening. HE4: Another marker for ovarian cancer, often used in combination with CA-125. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP): Used in the assessment of germ cell tumors. Inhibin: A marker for granulosa cell tumors of the ovary.
