Recent studies indicate that circulating calprotectin may serve as a biomarker in some cancers. We investigated whether this is the case for ovarian neoplasms.
Calprotectin was analyzed with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in EDTA-plasma collected prior to surgery from women with ovarian carcinomas (n = 89), borderline ovarian tumors (BOT, n = 39), and benign ovarian tumors (n = 71). Serum CA 125 was analyzed in the same study population.
Median plasma calprotectin concentration was elevated in ovarian carcinoma, compared with controls, as well as compared with BOT (both P < .001). A positive correlation was found between CA 125 and calprotectin concentrations in ovarian carcinoma. Receiver operating characteristic curves demonstrated a larger area under the curve for CA 125 (0.85) as compared with calprotectin (0.70).
Plasma calprotectin is elevated in invasive ovarian cancer, but when used as a tumor marker, it is inferior to CA 125.
近期研究表明,循环中的钙卫蛋白可能在某些癌症中作为生物标志物。我们调查了卵巢肿瘤是否也是这种情况。
采用酶联免疫吸附测定法分析了术前从患有卵巢癌(n = 89)、卵巢交界性肿瘤(BOT,n = 39)和卵巢良性肿瘤(n = 71)的女性收集的乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)血浆中的钙卫蛋白。在同一研究人群中分析了血清CA 125。
与对照组以及与BOT相比,卵巢癌患者血浆钙卫蛋白浓度中位数均升高(均P <.001)。在卵巢癌中,发现CA 125与钙卫蛋白浓度之间呈正相关。受试者工作特征曲线显示,与钙卫蛋白(0.70)相比,CA 125的曲线下面积更大(0.85)。
侵袭性卵巢癌患者血浆钙卫蛋白升高,但用作肿瘤标志物时,其性能不如CA 125。
