Journal ArticleDOI

New tumor markers: CA125 and beyond

TL;DR: CA125 (MUC16) has provided a useful serum tumor marker for monitoring response to chemotherapy, detecting disease recurrence, distinguishing malignant from benign pelvic masses, and potentially improving clinical trial design.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a Multimarker Assay for Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer

TL;DR: A panel of CA-125, HE4, CEA, and VCAM-1, after additional validation, could serve as an initial stage in a screening strategy for epithelial ovarian cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used transvaginal sonography (TVS), serum markers and a combination of the two modalities for early detection of ovarian cancer and achieved a positive predictive value of at least 10%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Utility of a novel serum tumor biomarker HE4 in patients with endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the uterus

TL;DR: HE4 is elevated in all stages of endometrial can100cer and is more sensitive in early-stageendometrial cancer compared to CA125, and further investigation of HE4 as a marker for early detection of recurrent endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the uterus is warranted.
Book ChapterDOI

Prevention and Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer: Mission Impossible?

TL;DR: In the future, serum markers should improve the sensitivity of detecting recurrent disease as well as facilitate earlier detection of ovarian cancer, which requires a strategy with high sensitivity and very high specificity to achieve a positive predictive value of 10%.
