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

Abstract: Objective-Tumor markers with increased sensitivity and specificity for endometrial cancer are needed to help monitor response to therapy and to detect recurrent disease. Currently, the tumor maker CA125 is utilized in this role with limited value. The objectives of this study were to examine the levels of several novel tumor markers HE4, SMRP, CA72.4 and CA125 as potential markers in patients diagnosed with endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the uterus.Methods-Preoperative serum samples from surgically staged pati… Show more

“…A systematic review analyzed five case-control studies covering a total of 1221 patients (667 endometrial cancers and 554 controls) [20]. Two studies without a clear documentation of cutoff values reported the same specificity of 90%, while the sensitivities are 95% and 98%, respectively [21,22]. Other three studies using 50-70 pM cutoff values reported 78.8% sensitivity and 100% specificity [23][24][25].…”

“…В течение ряда лет ведется поиск новых, а также соз-даются панели из сочетания разных ОМ с приемлемой чувствительностью для РЭ [7,8]. В качестве одного из перспективных маркеров РЭ рассматривается иденти-фицированный в конце прошлого века в эпителии эпи-дидимиса человека белок НЕ4 [6,7,9].…”
