We sought to identify the role of serum CA-125 levels in early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) on preoperative CT and MRI.
Clinical data of 101 patients with early-stage EOC on preoperative CT and MRI were collected between January 2000 and December 2007. Clinical stage I (n=59) was defined as tumor limited to the ovaries with or without ascites, whereas clinical stage II (n=42) was defined as tumor within the pelvis with or without ascites. The primary endpoint was to investigate the efficacy of serum CA-125 levels for the prediction of advanced-stage disease, and secondary endpoints were to evaluate the accuracy of preoperative CT and MRI, and to examine the role of serum CA-125 levels as a prognostic factor for survival.
The results of preoperative CT and MRI were concordant with no peritoneal implants outside the pelvis in 50/101 (50%) and no lymph node metastasis in 71/101 (70%) patients. The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that best cut-off values of serum CA-125 levels were 320 U/ml (71% sensitivity, 84% specificity) and 510 U/ml (67% sensitivity, 80% specificity) for the prediction of peritoneal implants outside the pelvis and lymph node metastasis. The serum CA-125 level (> or =320 U/ml) was a significant factor for the prediction of advanced-stage disease (adjusted OR, 7.43; 95% CI, 2.39-23.04). However, it was not an independent prognostic factor for survival.
Serum CA-125 levels may be very useful for the prediction of advanced-stage disease in early-stage EOC on preoperative CT and MRI.
我们试图确定术前CT和MRI检查中血清CA - 125水平在早期上皮性卵巢癌(EOC)中的作用。
收集2000年1月至2007年12月期间101例早期EOC患者术前CT和MRI的临床资料。临床I期(n = 59)定义为肿瘤局限于卵巢,有或无腹水;而临床II期(n = 42)定义为肿瘤位于盆腔内,有或无腹水。主要终点是研究血清CA - 125水平预测晚期疾病的有效性,次要终点是评估术前CT和MRI的准确性,以及检查血清CA - 125水平作为生存预后因素的作用。
术前CT和MRI结果显示,101例患者中有50例(50%)盆腔外无腹膜种植,71例(70%)无淋巴结转移。受试者工作特征曲线显示,血清CA - 125水平预测盆腔外腹膜种植和淋巴结转移的最佳截断值分别为320 U/ml(敏感性71%,特异性84%)和510 U/ml(敏感性67%,特异性80%)。血清CA - 125水平(≥320 U/ml)是预测晚期疾病的重要因素(校正OR,7.43;95%CI,2.39 - 23.04)。然而,它不是生存的独立预后因素。
血清CA - 125水平对于术前CT和MRI检查的早期EOC患者预测晚期疾病可能非常有用。
