Diagnostic Value of Combining Detection of Serum Human Epididymis Protein and Carbohydrate Antigen-125 on Ovarian Cancer: A Meta-Analysis

doi:10.3877/cma.j.issn.1673-5250.2012.03.010

Objective

To conduct a Meta-analysis based on the evaluation of serum carbohydrate antigen-125 (CA₁₂₅) combine with human epididymis protein (HE)4 in diagnosis of ovarian cancer.

Methods

Based on the principles and methods of Cochrane systematic reviews, literatures were publicated from inception to February 2012, including English or Chinese languages, were searched in Cochrane Library, Medline, Pubmed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), CBM, VIP databases. Articles related to the diagnostic value of serum CA₁₂₅ combine with HE4 in ovarian cancer were selected, related journals were also searched manually. Data analysis was conducted by Meta-Disc 1.4 software. The study protocol was approved by the Ethical Review Board of Investigation in Human Being of West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University.

Results

A total of 12 articles with 848 ovarian cancer cases and 1468 controls were included. The pooled sensitivity of CA₁₂₅ alone and CA₁₂₅ combined with HE4 were 81% (95% CI: 0.79-0.84) and 93%(95%CI: 0.92-0.95), respectively, and the negative likelihood ratio(N-LR) were 0.26(95%CI: 0.22-0.32) and 0.10(95%CI: 0.07-0.14), diagnosis odds ratio(DOR) were 14.02 (95%CI: 8.50-23.11) and 56.46 (95%CI: 34.86-91.47), summary receiver operating characteristic curve area under curve (SROC AUC)were 0.8697 and 0.9544, Cochrane-Q index were 0.802 00 and 0.896 05, respectively.

Conclusions

HE4, as a new tumor maker, combine with CA₁₂₅, could be an effective tool for the diagnosis of ovarian cancer.

Key words: human epididymis protein, carbohydrate antigen-125, ovarian cancer, diagnosis, Meta-analysis
