Tumor Markers in Ovarian Malignancies.
Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most common ovarian malignancy. CA125, the glycoprotein defined by the antibody OC 125, is the most important clinical marker for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of epithelial ovarian cancer. However, like most tumor markers, it is neither wholly specific nor sensitive for the disease. We discuss how CA125 in combination with other tests can be used in th...
متن کاملAlternative tumor markers in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer.
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to assess the usefulness of various tumor markers (CA125, HE4, bcl2) measured in serum, urine and saliva in the differential diagnosis of adnexal masses. MATERIAL AND METHODS Our study was conducted at the Başkent University Medical School, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ankara, Turkey, between November 2010 and March 2011.

متن کاملTumor markers for early detection of ovarian cancer.
The overall mortality rate for ovarian cancer is 75%, but when diagnosed at stage I, 90% of patients can be cured. Strategies for early detection require high sensitivity (>75%) and extremely high specificity (99.6%) to attain a positive predictive value of at least 10%. When functioning alone, conventional markers fall short of this required sensitivity or specificity. Greater specificity can ...
متن کاملInvestigating the diagnostic value of tumor markers compared to ultrasound in the diagnosis of ovarian tumors
Aims: Ovarian cancer has the worst prognosis among female genital tract malignancies, but if detected in the early stages, it is one of the most treatable malignancies. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of tumor markers compared to ultrasound in the diagnosis of ovarian tumors. Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional-analytical study, 210 women referred to ...
متن کاملTumor vascularity in ovarian cancer
In ovarian cancer, it has become increasingly clear that tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) confer a survival benefit to patients. 1 It is tempting to strive to further define the key TIL subsets driving antitumor immunity, as one can envision developing T cell-based therapy armed with this knowledge. Indeed, refinements in adoptive T-cell therapy seeking to identify antigen-specific populat...
