“…Serum cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) is widely used in the assessment of adnexal masses, despite its modest sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) for early‐stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and its low specificity due to the high levels of this biomarker in patients with endometriosis, early pregnancy, leiomyoma, hepatobiliary disease and malignancy other than ovarian cancer, and in menstruating women. Recently, a more specific biomarker for ovarian cancer, human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), was introduced.…”

“…CA 125 is raised in endometriosis through stimulation of coelomic epithelia and is the most investigated non‐invasive diagnosis marker. Individual studies have methodological limitations in patient selection, poor conduct of the index test, and poor conduct of the reference test . Two diagnostic reviews exist; however, the first is over 15 years old and includes studies with high risk of verification bias and the second is of poor methodological quality …”
