Novelty and Impact Statement: Our findings suggest that soluble folate receptor (sFR) could be used in both the initial diagnosis and surveillance of patients with ovarian cancer. Our cohort constitutes one of the largest comparison groups for sFR analyzed so far. We have defined the background level of sFR using healthy volunteers. This is also the first study to prospectively follow patients in the surveillance setting to concurrently identify differential changes in tumor markers CA-125 and sFR.
我们的研究结果表明,可溶性叶酸受体(sFR)可用于卵巢癌患者的初始诊断和监测。我们的队列是迄今为止分析的 sFR 最大的比较组之一。我们使用健康志愿者定义了 sFR 的背景水平。这也是第一项前瞻性随访监测患者的研究,旨在同时识别肿瘤标志物 CA-125 和 sFR 的差异变化。
