HE4 and CA125 serum biomarker monitoring in women with epithelial ovarian cancer.
Background: CA125 is the gold standard serum biomarker for monitoring patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Human epididymal protein 4 (HE4) is a novel serum biomarker for EOC patients.
Objective: The objective of this trial was to examine the utility of measuring serum HE4 levels for monitoring EOC patients and to compare HE4 performance parameters to serum CA125.
Methods: A retrospective trial using residual longitudinal serum samples drawn during treatment and monitoring from EOC patients. Serum CA125 and HE4 levels were analyzed at each time point, and a velocity of change was calculated and correlated with clinical status. The null hypothesis was that HE4 is inferior to CA125, and this was tested using concordance and two-sided Fisher's exact testing. McNemar's test was used to assess the overall agreement of the two assays with the clinical status.
Results: A total of 129 patients with 272 separate clinical periods and 1739 events (serum samples) were evaluated. Using a 25% change in serum biomarker levels to indicate change in disease status, the accuracy and NPV determined for HE4 versus CA125 were 81.8% versus 82.6% (p = 0.846) and 87.4% versus 89.7% (p = 0.082), respectively. Concordance comparison of HE4 accuracy / CA125 accuracy was 0.990, indicating HE4 was not inferior to CA125 (McNemar's test p-value = 0.522). Performing a velocity of change analysis, the accuracy and NPV determined for HE4 versus CA125 were 78.3% versus 78.6% (p = 0.995) and 74.9% versus 76.3% (p = 0.815), respectively. Concordance comparison of HE4 velocity accuracy / CA125 velocity accuracy was 0.996, again indicating HE4 was not inferior to CA125 (McNemar's test p-value = 0.884). The combination of HE4 and CA125 velocity changes showed a similar accuracy of 81.3% (p = 0.797 compared to HE4 and CA125 alone) and NPV of 81.1% (p≥0.172 compared to HE4 and CA125 alone), and an increased sensitivity of 70.5% (p≤0.070 compared to HE4 and CA125 alone).
Conclusion: HE4 is equivalent to CA125 for monitoring of EOC patients. The combination of CA125 and HE4 velocities is superior to either marker alone.

Non-coding RNAs,
Circulating tumor cells,
Liquid biopsies,
Exosomes,
Epigenetics,
Cancer stem cells,
Tumor immunology and immunotherapy,
Tumor microenvironment,
Targeted therapies,
Therapy resistance
Cancer genetics,
Cancer risk screening.
Studies in other areas of basic, clinical and translational cancer research are also considered in order to promote connections and discoveries across different disciplines.
The journal publishes original articles, reviews, commentaries and guidelines on tumor marker use. All submissions are subject to rigorous peer review and are selected on the basis of whether the research is sound and deserves publication.
Tumor Biology is the Official Journal of the International Society of Oncology and BioMarkers (ISOBM).
