Early Detection Biomarkers for Ovarian Cancer

Abstract: Despite the widespread use of conventional and contemporary methods to detect ovarian cancer development, ovarian cancer remains a common and commonly fatal gynecological malignancy. The identification and validation of early detection biomarkers highly specific to ovarian cancer, which would permit development of minimally invasive screening methods for detecting early onset of the disease, are urgently needed. Current practices for early detection of ovarian cancer include transvaginal ultrasonography, bioma… Show more

“…However, several factors undermine the significance of CA-125 as an early detection biomarker such as the absence of its expression in about 20% of ovarian cancer and elevated expression in some benign conditions (liver cirrhosis, endometriosis, peritonitis). Moreover, fluctuation in CA-125 level is also associated with the menstrual cycle and pregnancy 5 . CA-125 as an individual marker is not sufficiently sensitive to detect all cases of earlystage ovarian cancer.…”

“…CA125 (MUC16) jest markerem szeroko stosowanym w praktyce klinicznej jako "złoty standard", szczególnie w ginekologii onkologicznej, w przypadkach podejrzanych o raka jajnika [9]. To glikoproteina, z czułością określaną na 50-60% oraz swoistością sięgającą 90% w populacji kobiet we wczesnym okresie pomenopauzalnym.…”

“…To glikoproteina, z czułością określaną na 50-60% oraz swoistością sięgającą 90% w populacji kobiet we wczesnym okresie pomenopauzalnym. U pacjentek z nabłonkowym rakiem jajnika jej stężenie jest znacząco zwiększone u ok. 90% z nich [4,[7][8][9].…”

“…Consequently, the serum proteome may reflect the abnormality or pathologic state of the disease (5). Comparative protein profiling is a promising way of detecting of specific protein expression of cancer, which may serve as a novel serum biomarker.…”
