Serum levels of several biomarkers associated with immature teratoma
| Date | Timely phase of treatment | AFP, ng/mL | hCG, mIU/mL | CA-125, U/mL | CA-19-9, U/mL | CEA, ng/mL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 Dec 2018 | Postoperative (primary tumor) | 4.16 | >1.00 | 17.12 | N/A | N/A |
| 29 Apr 2019 | Follow-up | 5.81 | 0.18 | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| 3 Jan 2019 | Follow-up | 1.95 | N/A | 16.50 | N/A | N/A |
| 29 Jul 2019 | Follow-up | 1.58 | 0.71 | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| 2 Feb 2020 | Follow-up | 1.17 | 0.23 | N/A | N/A | N/A |

Table shows serum levels of AFP, hCG, CA-125, CA-19-9, and CEA over the course of treatment. Primary tumor (ovarian immature teratoma) was resected through salpingo-oophorectomy, while the secondary tumor (small bowel mature teratoma) was removed through laparoscopic segmental small bowel resection.
AFP, alpha-fetoprotein; hCG, human chorionic gonadotropin; CEA, carcinoembryonic antigen.
