Tumor hCG refers to human chorionic gonadotropin produced by certain tumors, such as germ cell tumors and trophoblastic diseases, which can indicate malignancy. Beta hCG, on the other hand, specifically refers to the beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin, which is measured in blood tests for pregnancy confirmation and monitoring. While both forms of hCG can be present in the body, tumor hCG is associated with cancer, whereas beta hCG is typically linked to pregnancy. In clinical practice, measuring beta hCG levels can help distinguish between these conditions.
Yes, having low hcg levels or no hcg levels while pregnant can be hereditary
only if the pregnancy is in the early stages. about 11 days. if your a couple weeks in, then you will almost certainly have higher HCG levels. this sight may be useful to you http://www.americanpregnancy.org/duringpregnancy/hcglevels.html
Generally, the prognosis is worse if the cancer can be found in the liver or brain, if hCG levels are high, or if the original tumor developed outside the gonads.
Yes. HCG levels between 0-5 are common in non-pregnant women and are considered to be normal.
There is a wide range of Serum Beta hCG during the first month of pregnancy. If the egg is fertilized, blastocyst implants in the endometrium on day 21, and hCG levels are present. Beta hCG levels should double approximately every 2 days for the first four weeks of pregnancy.
If you're pregnant, you're going to have elevated HCG levels. That's just how it works.
no
HCG is most often used to screen for cancer of the testis or ovary. Serial measurements monitor the progress and treatment of these cancers
HCG levels of 2000mlU/ml. means pregnancy.
Just happened to me too. My dr called it a threatened miscarriage and is still checking my hcg levels.
According to Stanford Medicine, marijuana use may raise hCG levels. http://www.livestrong.com/article/530774-what-can-cause-hcg-levels-to-fluctuate/
