Overview:
There are no specific laboratory findings associated with leiomyosarcoma, patients may have low hemoglobin and red blood cells on their complete blood count, immunohistochemistry markers can be positive but non-diagnostics.
Lab test:
- There are no specific laboratory findings associated with leiomyosarcoma.
- Elevated levels of CA-125 and LDH( isozymes) in women with uterine sarcoma, the usefulness of these markers are still being investigated.
- There are immunohistochemistry markers associated with sarcoma but it can be positive in any other soft tissue tumors, some of these markers are include:[1][2][3]
