Serum CA125 and HE4 levels as predictors for optimal interval surgery and platinum sensitivity after neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer

Abstract: BackgroundThe aim of this study is to evaluate a new tumour marker, HE4, and to compare it with CA125 in predicting optimal cytoreduction and response to chemotherapy. Thirty patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer and multiple sera harvested during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) were included.ResultsBased on ROC curves analysis, CA125 ≤ 75 UI/ml and HE4 ≤ 252 pmol/L after the 3rd cycles of NAC, with a sensitivity of 93.7 % and a specificity of 92.3 % (PPV = 93.7 % and NPV = 92.3 %), offered the best … Show more

“…In the neoadjuvant setting, CA125 can be utilized as a marker to assess the response to chemotherapy. The post-NACT CA125 level can predict the possibility of achieving optimal cytoreduction in IDS [36][37][38].…”

“…HE4 is known to be over-expressed highly in ovarian cancer, but its causal relationship to ovarian cancer pathogenesis has not been established firmly. Emerging studies suggest that HE4 over-expression promotes ovarian tumour growth and imparts strong resistance against the most commonly used therapeutics [20][21][22][23][24]. Interestingly, ovarian cancer patients who experienced greater HE4 reduction during neoadjuvant chemotherapy exhibit improved overall survival [24].…”
