Placental Protein 12 (PP 12) concentrations were measured by a radioimmunoassay in cyst and peritoneal fluids and in serum samples respectively of patients with tumor like conditions and benign and malignant cystic ovarian tumours. PP 12 can not recommended as a serum tumour marker in ovarian cancer. It must be proved the value of PP 12 in follow up of ovarian cancer with help of more extensive sample material. There are many cysts in tumour like conditions with measurable PP 12-concentrations.
