Evaluation of He4 Use in the Diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer: First and Second Recurrence, and an Analysis of HE4 Concentration during Second- and Third-Line Chemotherapy
HE4 is a commonly used tumor marker for ovarian cancer (OC) diagnosis. In our study, we aimed to assess its use in the diagnosis of subsequent OC recurrences and to evaluate its changes during recurrence diagnosis and the subsequent lines of chemotherapy treatment. This retrospective single center s...

description | HE4 is a commonly used tumor marker for ovarian cancer (OC) diagnosis. In our study, we aimed to assess its use in the diagnosis of subsequent OC recurrences and to evaluate its changes during recurrence diagnosis and the subsequent lines of chemotherapy treatment. This retrospective single center study was conducted on 188 patients treated for ovarian cancer recurrence at the Department of Gynecological Surgery and Gynecological Oncology. The sensitivity and specificity of HE4 for patient survival prediction were analyzed using Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) and area under the curve (AUC) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Survival times to reach one of the endpoints (OS, PFS, TFI, PFS2, TFI2) were analyzed using Kaplan–Meier curves. Elevated HE4 levels at the time of first relapse diagnosis, and after the third and the last course of second-line chemotherapy, significantly influences the time from OC diagnosis until first disease recurrence (PFS2) (p = 0.005, p = 0.015 and p = 0.002, respectively). Additionally, elevated serum HE4 concentration at the time of OC diagnosis (p = 0.012), and its later recurrence (first (p < 0.001), and second recurrent diagnosis (p = 0.143)) significantly influences patient OS. Increased HE4 concentration at the end of chemotherapeutic treatment negatively affects overall patient survival ((p = 0.006 for second line chemotherapy and (p = 0.022) for elevated HE4 concentration after the last course of third-line chemotherapy). Our preliminary results show an encouraging diagnostic and prognostic role of HE4 in recurrent ovarian cancer. HE4 measurements at different treatment time points during the second- and third-line chemotherapy treatment seem to correlate with patient survival. |
