Ferritin discriminates between HCs and EOC patients, especially in early stage disease. The combination of serum ferritin and CA125 provides the higher diagnostic accuracy to screen for EOC. Serum ferritin could serve as an EOC biomarker to complement the standard CA125 test.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
