There are no specific laboratory findings associated with Leiomyosarcoma.
Lab test:
There are no specific laboratory findings associated with Leiomyosarcoma. [1]However, we may find elevated levels of CA 125 and LDH( isozymes) in women with uterine sarcoma.However,usefulness of these markers are still being investigated.[2]
