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]
