Abstract

Objective: Cancer Antigen 125 (CA125) and Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA) score are used for classification of ovarian masses (benign/malign) in preoperative stage. However, their discrimination capacity are considered insufficient, and greatly effected by histological subtype and menopausal status. This study aimed to investigate diagnostic performance of Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), Y (tyrosine), K (lysine), and L (leucine)-40 (YKL-40), Mesothelin, Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor beta (LyGDI), CA125 or their combinations in discrimination of benign/malign ovarian diseases in preoperative stage.
