  • Title: Role of tumour markers in monitoring epithelial ovarian cancer.
    Author: Meyer T, Rustin GJ.
    Journal: Br J Cancer; 2000 May; 82(9):1535-8. PubMed ID: 10789720.
    Abstract:
    Currently the only tumour marker to have a well-defined and validated role in the management of ovarian cancer is CA125. Changes in the level of CA125 can be used as a reliable indication of response or progression according to various criteria, but it does not yet have a clear place in diagnosis or prognosis. Its value as part of a screening tool and during routine follow-up remain the subject of ongoing trials. Other markers remain experimental and do not have a well-defined contribution to make at present.
