abstract: The Role of Tumor Markers in the Surgical Approach of Ovarian Masses in Pediatric Age: A 10-Year Study and a Literature Review



Blogger's Note: See partial pdf below for tumor markers studied

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to detect the role of serum tumor markers in the differential diagnosis and in the choice of
the surgical treatment of ovarian lesions in pediatric age.

Conclusions

The role of tumor markers is still controversial. This is the reason why, before considering a radical treatment, we suggest
caution to optimize future fertility.
