Table 4.

Simple comparison between teratoma and cancer patients, regarding CA125 /CA19-9 elevations revealed that normal CA125 level was more frequent in patients with teratoma than those with cancer (91.6% vs. 31.3%, p<0.001). In addition, single elevation of CA19-9 was more frequently observed in patients with teratoma than those with cancer (39.3% vs. 10.8%).

Teratoma (N=239) Cancer (N=83) P-value
CA125 & CA19-9 <0.001
 All normal 125 (52.3%) 17 (20.5%)
 CA19-9 only elevated 94 (39.3%) 9 (10.8%)
 CA125 only elevated 9 (3.8%) 32 (38.6%)
 All elevated 11 (4.6%) 25 (30.1%)
