Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the significance of serum biomarkers in diagnosing gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) among pregnant women.
- Sixty-nine women with molar pregnancies were compared to nineteen healthy pregnant women, measuring various serum biomarkers, including hCG, AFP, and CA markers.
- Results indicated that low AFP and high CA 19-9 levels could aid in diagnosing molar pregnancies, whereas other biomarkers like CA 125 and CEA were not significantly useful.
