No benefit from combining HE4 and CA125 as ovarian tumor markers in a clinical setting

of interest: "HE4 was not elevated in endometriosis"
CONCLUSIONS:
The major advantage of HE4 lies in its specificity and improved detection of borderline tumors and early stage ovarian and tubal cancers. HE4 is superior to CA125 with or without RMI and ROMA indices. However, we see no benefit from combining both markers in clinical practice.
