Abstract

The specificity of HE4 assay is higher than CA(125) assay in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer and HE4 combined with CA(125) assay can improve the diagnoses. The set point of 150 pmol/L is advantageous for the accurate diagnosis, while the set point of 86 pmol/L is advantageous for the screening of malignant ovarian cancer.
