Abstract
The time course and characteristics of the tumor marker CASA (Cancer A ssociated Serum Antigen) during the menstrual cycle were analysed We i nvestigated whether hormonal influences in women and the score of this tumor marker ought to be considered in diagnosis. It could be demonst rated that CASA is not influenced by physiological alterations of the hormonal status in regularly ovulating women.
