title: [Tumor markers in gynecology].
abstract: The employment of tumour markers in gynaecology has gained increasing importance in recent times. Beta HCG for chorionic carcinoma and alpha 1 fetoprotein for germ cell tumours are an essential part of postoperative surveillance. Initial analyses of the amylase isoenzymes are available. CEA, TPA, and CA 125 are recognized as established tumour markers. Very promising results have been obtained using SCC in patients with cervical carcinoma. Neopterin, a marker for cell-mediated immunity, provides good prognostic information.
