Oncological markers CA-125, CA 19-9 and endometriosis

Abstract: The endometrium tissue is functionally androgen related which plays an important role in women's fertility regulation. In addition recent findings show that endometrium related pathology is closely linked to disrupted androgen biosynthesis and associated regulatory functions. These findings also suggest that androgens might play an important role in endometrium related cancer pathology with significant implications for treatment.Based on these findings, we have assessed 50 female outpatients with endometriosis… Show more

“…Although in some studies have been reported that endometriosis is significantly associated with elevated serum CA19-9 and CA125 concentrations [ 15 , 17 , 33 , 34 ], the diagnostic value of serum CA125 and CA19-9 concentration in endometriosis therefore remains unclear [ 30 ]. It has been reported that CA19-9 is elevated further in the more advanced stages of endometriosis [ 15 ].…”

“…As well as recent studies report that CA 19-9 may be produced by glandular structures of the pancreas, gall bladder, bronchus, and some gynecological tumors [ 15 ]. Some studies show that CA-19-9 may be demonstrably elevated in endometriosis and show the same or decreased sensitivity as CA-125 [ 15 , 17 , 33 ].…”

“…It is well known that PCOS patients frequently reveal increased AMH-levels [16]. Moreover, as shown in the recent literature, DHEA-S levels—which were also elevated in many PCOS patients [16]—were also associated with endometriosis [17,18]. Last but not least, both diseases are linked with a lack of vitamin D and sometimes with hyperprolactinemia [19,20,21].…”

“…Nevertheless, it was shown that there is a correlations between CA125 and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) (R = 0.52 and R = 0.49). This initial result reflects that androgen-dependent increases in CA125 and CA19-9 levels are potentially significant diagnostic biomarkers of endometrial pathology [46].…”
