Just got the test results from the HCG test (Philippines). It is at encouraging that the measurment is the same as the test in June. We are going to try to do this test every 8 weeks or so to monitor it "serially" as the doctor suggests below.
Your latest HCG test result on 11-6-09 is: Index +/- 4,(52.2 Int. Units) This is within the positive range. It shows no change as compared to the last result on 6-9-09(52.2 IU). Results can reach as much as 10,000 int. units or more especially in testicular cancer, some uterine cancers(H mole and choriocarcinoma) and germ cell tumor. However, most other cancers have result from 50 to 80 or 90 int. units. The test cannot stage the cancer but when done on a serial basis, say once a month or once every two months, the progress of the condition can be monitored.
