Abstract
Ovarian cancer remains a highly lethal disease. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the usefulness of measuring serum matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7), CC chemokine ligand 18 (CCL18) and CC chemokine ligand 11 (CCL11) in comparison with serum cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) for diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). This study included 51 patients with EOC, 27 patients with benign ovarian lesions and 29 healthy volunteers. Serum CA 125 was determined by microparticle enzyme immunoassay, while serum MMP-7, CCL18 and CCL11 were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The sensitivity and specificity were 86.3% and 92.9% for CA 125, 80.4% and 87.5% for MMP-7, 84.3% and 91.1% for CCL18 and, 68.6% and 62.5% for CCL11. Combination of CA 125, MMP-7, CCL18 and CCL11 gave a promising sensitivity of 100%, but specificity was decreased to 60.7%. The combined use of serum CA 125, MMP-7, CCL18 and CCL11 effectively detected early stages EOC with high sensitivity of 94.4%. Our data indicate that serum MMP-7, CCL18 and CCL11, in combination with CA 125 could be useful in diagnosis of EOC. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2009.
