. We assess the behavior of serum concentrations of HE4 marker in female carriers of BRCA1 and assess the diagnostic usefulness of HE4 in ovarian and endometrial cancer. . A total of 619 women with BRCA1 gene mutation, ovarian, endometrial, metastatic, other gynecological cancers, or benign gynecological diseases were included. Intergroup comparative analyses were carried out, the BRCA1 gene carriers subgroup was subjected to detailed analysis, and ROC curves were determined for the assessment of diagnostic usefulness of HE4 in ovarian and endometrial cancer. . Statistically lower serum HE4 and CA 125 levels were observed in BRCA1 gene mutation premenopausal carriers. Occult ovarian/fallopian tube cancer was found 3.6%. Each of those patients was characterized by slightly elevated levels of either CA 125 (63.9 and 39.4 U/mL) or HE4 (79 pmol/L). The ROC-AUC curves were 0.892 and 0.894 for diagnostic usefulness of ovarian cancer and 0.865 for differentiation of endometrial cancer from endometrial polyps. . Patients with BRCA1 gene mutations have relatively low serum HE4 levels. Even the slightest elevation in HE4 or CA 125 levels in female BRCA1 carriers undergoing prophylactic surgery should significantly increase oncological alertness. The HE4 marker is valuable in ovarian and uterine cancer diagnosis.
我们评估了BRCA1女性携带者血清中HE4标志物的水平,并评估了HE4在卵巢癌和子宫内膜癌中的诊断价值。纳入了619名携带BRCA1基因突变、患有卵巢癌、子宫内膜癌、转移性癌、其他妇科癌症或良性妇科疾病的女性。进行了组间比较分析,对BRCA1基因携带者亚组进行了详细分析,并绘制了ROC曲线以评估HE4在卵巢癌和子宫内膜癌中的诊断价值。在携带BRCA1基因突变的绝经前携带者中,观察到血清HE4和CA 125水平在统计学上较低。隐匿性卵巢/输卵管癌的发现率为3.6%。这些患者中的每一位的特征都是CA 125(63.9和39.4 U/mL)或HE4(79 pmol/L)水平略有升高。卵巢癌诊断的ROC-AUC曲线为0.892和0.894,子宫内膜癌与子宫内膜息肉鉴别的ROC-AUC曲线为0.865。携带BRCA1基因突变的患者血清HE4水平相对较低。在接受预防性手术的BRCA1女性携带者中,即使HE4或CA 125水平有最轻微的升高,也应显著提高肿瘤学警惕性。HE4标志物在卵巢癌和子宫癌诊断中具有重要价值。
