摘要

卵巢癌是美国第二大常见的妇科恶性肿瘤，由于诊断延迟，死亡率很高。血清CA-125广泛用于筛查和监测，但在某些情况下缺乏敏感性和特异性。我们报告了一位67岁的女性，尽管CA-125水平正常，但被诊断为晚期卵巢癌，HE4（人附睾蛋白4）升高，强调了其诊断价值。本病例强调了将HE4和CA-125结合在卵巢癌评估中的重要性，并强调了采用多模式方法来提高早期发现和预后。

HE-4 in the Diagnosis of Carcinoma of Ovary Presented as Unknown primary Carcinoma: A Case Report.

Ovarian cancer is the second most common gynecologic malignancy in the United States, with high mortality due to delayed diagnosis. Serum CA-125 is widely used for screening and monitoring but lacks sensitivity and specificity in some cases. We present a 67-year-old female diagnosed with advanced-stage ovarian cancer despite normal CA-125 levels, with elevated HE4 (human epididymis protein 4), underscoring its diagnostic value. This case highlights the importance of integrating HE4 with CA-125 in ovarian cancer evaluation and emphasizes a multimodal approach to enhance early detection and outcomes.
