Guidelines for CA-125 Requesting
The best available marker for epithelial ovarian cancer is still considered to be CA-125 due to a combination of reliability and general availability. HE4 is more sensitive than specific than CA-125, however the former is not in routine use. NICE still therefore recommends CA-125 rather than HE4. CA-125 is used for the diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer. αFP and βHCG are useful for identify...
متن کاملSerum CA 125 and ovarian cancer
of death from gynaecological cancer among women in Western countries. Epithelial ovarian cancer is responsible for 85-90% of all primary ovarian tumours. Because of the asymptomatic nature of the disease, ovarian cancer is usually not detected in the early stages and therefore many women present with advanced disease and systemic metastases.

متن کاملHE4, CA-125, and cystic ovarian mass
To the editor: The recent publication on ‘HE4, CA-125, and cystic ovarian mass’ is very interesting [1]. Partheen et al. [1] concluded that HE4 did not outperform CA-125. Indeed, the use of two biomarkers might be expected for increased screening ability; however, the problem of the cost should be kept in mind. Incremental analysis on additional cost should be done. Based on the present report,...
متن کاملCA 125 secretion by peritoneal mesothelial cells.
AIMS To investigate the secretion of the tumour marker CA 125 by cultured human mesothelial cells; to determine if secretion of CA 125 could be observed by activating the mesothelial monolayers with different cytokines. METHODS Mesothelial cells were isolated from human omentum and cultured to confluent monolayers on perforated polycarbonate membranes (pore size 0.4 micron). The mesothelial m...
متن کاملAnalytical and Clinical Performance of Improved Abbott lMx CA 125 Assay: Comparison with Abbott CA 125 RIA
We compared the improved Abbott lMx cancer antigen (CA) 125 assay (cat. no. 7A89) with the Abbott CA 125 RIA. Serum specimens were from healthy perimenopausal women (n = 124) and from patients with benign gynecologic and nongynecologic diseases (n = 124), ovarian carcinoma (n = 104), or other malignancies (n = 193). The lMx assay detected as little as 0.193 kAU/L CA 125 (AU = arbitrary Abbott u...
