title: Prognostic value of beta human chorionic gonadotrophin in blood serum of patients with urinary bladder tumours.
abstract: Beta human chorionic gonadotrophin levels have been assessed in blood serum of 79 patients with bladder tumours before and seven days after transurethral electroresection (TUR). With the growth grade of anaplasia and staging the mean serum beta HCG level increased. Beta HCG was a good biological marker to differentiate between superficial and deep tumours.
