Normal serum CA125 half-life and normal serum nadir CA125 level in patients with ovarian cancers

The normal serum CA125 half-life and distribution of the normal serum nadir CA125 value in patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) have not been determined yet. Among patients with EOC, 41 patients met the inclusion criteria of the present study: the patients that underwent complete cytoreductive surgery and six cycles of platinum-containing chemotherapy, and who had no recurrent disease more than five years. Serum CA125 half-life (T1/2) during primary surgery and primary chemotherapy was calculated and serum nadir CA125 level was evaluated by logarithmic-transformed serum CA125. Median value of nadir CA125 was 7 U/ml (range 3-20 U/ml), and the mean ln (serum nadir CA125) was 1.96 +/- 0.45. Mean T1/2 was 10.4 days in all patients, and T1/2 value was associated with the preoperative serum levels of CA125. Predicted slope of CA125 regression curve was also influenced by the preoperative CA125 value. The present study provides fundamental information with regard to normal half-life time and normal nadir of CA125 in EOC patients.

Prognostic value of pre- and postoperative serum CA 125 levels in ovarian cancer: new aspects and multivariate analysis.

The prognostic significance of the serum CA 125 level was studied in 687 patients with invasive epithelial ovarian malignancies. The samples were collected preoperatively in 200 and postoperatively in 487 patients. Median follow-up was 27 months (range 3-84). The serum CA 125 level was elevated preoperatively in 90% of cases, with a median value of 429 U/mL. In patients with evidence of disease at the time of sampling, the CA 125 serum level correlated directly to tumor stage, tumor load, and histologic grade. Using Cox multivariate analysis, the preoperative serum CA 125 level had no independent prognostic significance, whereas the postoperative level did. In patients without residual disease after primary surgery, histologic type (P less than .0001), postoperative CA 125 level with 35 U/mL as the cutoff value (P = .0009), and tumor grade (P = .034) were independent prognostic factors for survival. For those with residual tumor after primary surgery, histologic type (P less than .0001), postoperative treatment (P = .0002), size of residual disease (P = .0005), and postoperative serum CA 125 level with 65 U/mL as a cutoff (P = .003) were independent prognostic factors.     

RETRACTED: A study to evaluate the utility of presurgical CA125 to predict optimal tumor cytoreduction of epithelial ovarian cancer

OBJECTIVE: To determine the ability of a preoperative serum CA125 to predict optimal primary tumor cytoreduction in patients with stage III and IV epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The records of patients with advanced stage who underwent primary surgery for EOC at Tehran University, Vali-Asr Hospital between 2000 and 2002 were reviewed. Inclusion criteria included FIGO stage III/IV disease, surgery by gynecologic oncology faculty, preoperative CA125, and an operative note clearly defining volume of residual disease. Without optimal cytoreduction was determined using the receiver operator curve (ROC). RESULTS: One hundred and twenty cases of advanced stage EOC were identified, of which 90 cases of stage III/IV met our inclusion criteria. Serum CA125 < or = 400 was identified with OD > or = 75% of the time. Conversely, optimal cytoreduction was performed in < or = 40% of patients with CA125 > or =4000. The area under the ROC curve for CA125 was 0.680. The optimal cytoreduction rate for those with and without ascites was 38% and 77%, respectively (P<0.001). In a multivariate analysis using CA125, age, and ascites, the area under the curve was 0.696. CONCLUSION: We conclude that CA125 level did not reliably predict optimal cytoreduction in patients with stage III-IV EOC.

Preoperative serum vascular endothelial growth factor as a prognostic parameter in ovarian cancer

OBJECTIVE: Serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels have been shown to be associated with an adverse outcome in patients with ovarian cancer. We studied the clinical value of serum VEGF as an independent prognostic parameter. METHODS: In the present study, we ascertained preoperative serum VEGF in a series of 314 patients with ovarian cancer: 45 new cases and 269 from four previously published studies. Serum VEGF was evaluated prior to primary surgery, results were correlated with clinical data. RESULTS: Median serum VEGF was 407 (238-746) pg/mL. In a univariate Kaplan-Meier analysis, FIGO stage, residual tumor mass, tumor grade, patients' age, serum CA 125, and preoperative serum VEGF were associated with overall survival. In a multivariate Cox regression model, higher FIGO stage, presence of residual tumor mass after primary surgery, and higher serum VEGF were independently associated with a shortened overall survival. Planned subgroup analysis was performed for patients with ovarian cancer FIGO stage I. In a multivariate Cox regression model, higher tumor grade and higher serum VEGF were the only independent prognosticators for overall survival. Patients with FIGO stage I ovarian cancer and a serum VEGF > or = 380 pg/mL had an 8-fold increased risk for experiencing cancer-related death. CONCLUSION: Serum VEGF is an independent prognostic parameter in patients with all stages of ovarian cancer.     

Preoperative Serum CA 125 Level as a Predictor for Metastasis and Survival in Endometrioid Endometrial Cancer

ObjectiveWe wished to determine the relationship between preoperative serum CA 125 levels and the risk of metastatic disease, recurrent disease, and death in women with endometrial cancer.MethodsWe reviewed the records of women with endometrial adenocarcinoma of all stages who underwent primary surgery. We abstracted multiple data variables, including demographic characteristics, serum CA 125 levels, postoperative histopathology results, progression-free survival, and overall survival rates.ResultsThe records of 97 women with endometrial carcinoma were analyzed. With a serum CA 125 cut-off level of 35 kU/L, the likelihood of disease-related death could be predicted with 70% sensitivity and 83% specificity; disease progression could be predicted with 60% sensitivity and 84% specificity; and lymph node metastasis could be predicted with 75% sensitivity and 84% specificity. There was a significant relationship between a serum CA 125 level ≥ 35 kU/L and depth of myometrial invasion, cervical stromal invasion, stage, frequency of recurrence, and disease-related death. Having deep myometrial invasion, cervical stromal involvement, positive peritoneal cytology, lymph node metastasis, disease recurrence, and disease-related death were each associated with significantly higher mean CA 125 levels. In women with serum CA 125 levels < 35 kU/L, fiveyear progression-free survival rates (88%) and overall survival rates (92%) were significantly better than in women with levels ≥ 35 kU/L (57% and 70%, respectively; P = 0.001 for both).ConclusionSerum CA 125 levels and extension of disease are highly correlated in women with endometrioid endometrial cancer, and elevated CA 125 levels predict a higher risk of disease recurrence and death.     

The importance of serum insulin-like growth factor-I level determination in the follow-up of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer.

PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION: The aim of our study was to assess whether serum levels of serum insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) could be used for the follow-up of the patients with epithelial ovarian cancer and to identify whether it was superior to serum CA 125. METHODS: Our study group consisted of 28 patients diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer who had initial high serum CA 125 levels and have received chemotherapy following the operation. Preoperatively and before each chemotherapy administration, serum CA 125 and IGF-I levels were measured. RESULTS: The mean value of preoperative serum CA 125 was 364.0 +/- 152.9 U/ml. Serum CA 125 levels decreased with chemotherapy (Spearman rs= - 0.641, p=0.000). The mean preoperative serum IGF-I concentration was 58.04 +/- 52.7 ng/ml, and it showed a slight increase with chemotherapy. (Spearman rs=0.3 18, p=0.001). We observed that there was a weak-moderate negative correlation between the two markers, and when chemotherapy was administered serum CA 125 levels which were initially high started to decrease while serum IGF-I levels showed a mild increase (Spearman rs= - 0.350, p=0.000). CONCLUSION: The measurement of serum IGF-I does not provide any additional benefit in monitoring the response of the disease to chemotherapy.     

Cancer-associated serum antigen level: a novel prognostic indicator for survival in patients with recurrent ovarian carcinoma

The aim was to examine the value of the pretherapeutic serum cancer-associated serum antigen (CASA) level as a prognostic factor for survival in patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian carcinoma. Serum levels of CASA and cancer antigen (CA)125 were prospectively determined in 70 consecutive patients with recurrent ovarian cancer before the start of second-line chemotherapy. Univariate and multivariate analyses of survival were performed. The median level of serum CASA was 6.5 U/mL (range: 0.2-1437 U/mL). Univariate analysis showed that patients with a CASA level >10.0 U/mL had significantly shorter survival than patients with CASA level < or =10.0 U/mL (P= 0.002). Using different CASA cutoff levels (6.0, 6.5, and 10.0 U/mL), multivariate Cox analyses identified CASA as an independent prognostic factor for survival at every cutoff level. The strongest prognostic function for CASA was found at a cutoff level of 10.0 U/mL (>10 vs < or =10 U/mL; hazard ratio, 2.7; 95% confidence interval, 1.6-4.7; P < 0.001). The pretreatment CA125 level was not found to be significantly associated with survival by any of the cutoffs (35, 65, 132, and 339 U/mL). A pretreatment elevated level of the tumor marker CASA is an adverse prognostic factor for survival in patients with ovarian cancer relapse.
