CA 125 serum levels were assessed in 23 patients undergoing chemotherapy for advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). Rising, falling and unchanged levels correlated with disease in 21 out of 23 (95%) cases. Ten out of 11 patients who showed objective response to chemotherapy had a decrease in antigen levels. Two out of 3 patients with stable disease had unchanged values. Progression was always associated with rising levels. CA 125 is a reliable marker for monitoring response to chemotherapy in advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma.
对23例晚期上皮性卵巢癌(EOC)患者进行化疗时评估了血清CA 125水平。在23例患者中的21例(95%)中,CA 125水平升高、降低和未改变与疾病情况相关。11例对化疗有客观反应的患者中有10例抗原水平下降。3例病情稳定的患者中有2例数值未改变。病情进展总是与CA 125水平升高相关。CA 125是监测晚期上皮性卵巢癌化疗反应的可靠标志物。
