| Abstract: | ObjectivesTo investigate troponin I (TnI) in patients with gynecological cancers.MethodsHighly-sensitive (HS) and conventional TnI were measured in 25 patients with untreated ovarian cancer, 25 with endometriosis and 25 with benign masses.ResultsBoth HS and conventional TnI were increase in cancer patients. Values above the cut-off were found in 44% and 16% cancer patients using HS and conventional TnI methods, respectively.ConclusionsCardiac involvement is frequent in patients with gynecological cancers and should be preferably assessed using HS troponin immunoassays. |
