Abstract
Background: Cancer antigen 125 (CA125) and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) are the most commonly used tumor biomarkers for ovarian cancer (OC) screening and diagnosis. The risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm (ROMA) score uses these markers, as detected by the Roche system, to predict the risk of OC. This study sought to assess the performance of the Mindray system in detecting CA125 and HE4 for ROMA score calculation in clinical settings.
Methods: Consecutive OC patients and patients with benign pelvic masses were screened and enrolled in this study. The CA125 and HE4 levels of these patients were measured using both the Mindray and Roche systems. The ROMA score for each patient was calculated. Diagnostic performance was evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Results: The HE4 and CA125 levels were significantly higher in the patients with OC than the patients with benign ovarian masses. Both detection systems showed high efficiency in detecting ovarian cancer. For the premenopausal OC patients, the AUC values for the ROMA score, HE4, and CA125 were 0.866, 0.852, and 0.879, respectively, using the Roche system, and 0.911, 0.902, and 0.883, respectively, using the Mindray system. For the postmenopausal OC patients, the AUC values for the ROMA score, HE4, and CA125 were 0.962, 0.920, and 0.953, respectively, using Roche system, and 0.966, 0.924, and 0.959, respectively, using the Mindray system. The correlation analysis showed strong agreement between the two systems. Among the patients who experienced recurrence, we observed a significant increase in both HE4 and CA125 levels compared to baseline using the Mindray system.
Conclusions: The Mindray and Roche systems provide consistent results. The Mindray system can be used to detect HE4 and CA125 for ROMA score calculation.
