The Chinese-German Journal of Clinical Oncology - abstract: Clinical significance of CA125 regression in chemotherapy of advanced ovarian cancer

The Chinese-German Journal of Clinical Oncology

Abstract

Objective  

The aim of this study was to compare the serum CA125 regression in advanced ovarian carcinoma patients treated with paclitaxel/platinum (TP) and platinum/epirubicin/ifosfamide (PAC) during early chemotherapy. The relationship between survival and CA125 regression during first line chemotherapy was evaluated.

Conclusion  

There isn’t significant difference in serum CA125 regression between patients who are treated with PAC or PT during early chemotherapy. CA125 half-life and nadir CA125 concentration are independent prognostic factor in advanced ovarian cancer.
