Are There Any Other Markers Used Alongside Beta hCG?
Yes, other tumor markers are often used in conjunction with beta hCG for a more comprehensive diagnosis. For example, in the case of testicular cancer, markers such as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) are also measured. These markers can provide additional information about the type and stage of cancer, aiding in more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
