HE4 combined with MDCT imaging is a good marker in the evaluation of disease extension in advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the expression of the biomarkers CA125 and HE4 combined with imaging, in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Forty-six women with EOC were included in the study all affected with peritoneal carcinomatosis. ................The availability of biomarkers, particularly HE4, together with sophisticated imaging techniques, strengthens the clinical relevance of this study, for the follow-up of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis.
