  • Background: To evaluate factors for predicting the granulosa cell tumor of the ovary (GCTO) pre-operatively. Materials and Methods: This retrospective designed study was conducted on 34 women with GCTO as the study group and 76 women with benign ovarian cysts as the control group. Data were recorded from the hospital database and included age, body mass index (BMI), parity, serum estradiol ($E_2$) levels, diameter of the mass, ultrasonographic features, serum CA125 level, risk of malignancy index (RMI), duration of menopause, postoperative histopathology result, and the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR). Results: The demographic parameters showed no statistically significant difference between the groups. Preoperative diameter of the mass, CA125, duration of menopause, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio were significantly different between the groups. ROC curve analysis demonstrated that diameter of the mass, serum estradiol and Ca125 levels, RMI and NLR may be discriminative factors in predicting GCTO preoperatively. Conclusions: In conclusion, we think that a careful preoperative workshop including diameter of the mass, serum estradiol ($E_2$) and Ca125 levels, RMI and NLR may predict GCTO and may prevent incomplete approaches.

  • Background: To verify whether serum tumor abnormal protein (TAP) would correlate with the responsiveness of palliative chemotherapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer, and the variation of conventional serum tumor markers e.g., carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), antigen 125 (CA125),carbohydrate antigen19-9 (CA19-9) of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with early gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: Patients with histologically confirmed gastric cancer and treated with chemotherapy were enrolled into this study. TAP values of these patients were determined by detecting abnormal sugar chain glycoprotein in serum, combined with the area of agglomerated particles. For patients with advanced gastric cancer, responsiveness of palliative chemotherapy was compared with variation of TAP and the relation between variation of TAP and tumor markers in patients with early gastric cancer was analyzed. Results: Totally 82 gastric cancer patients were enrolled into this study. The value of TAP is more closely related to responsiveness of palliative chemotherapy for patients with advanced gastric cancer. The correlation between TAP and responsiveness to palliative chemotherapy is stronger than the correlation between several conventional serum tumor markers (CEA, CA125 and CA199). The variation of TAP was also positively correlated with the trend of CA125 in adjuvant chemotherapy. Conclusions: TAP is sensitive in monitoring the responsiveness to palliative chemotherapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer. But this result should be confirmed by randomized clinical trials for patients with gastric cancer.

  • Objective: There are limited data regarding the significance of elevated serum CA-125 level during IUI cycles, even though it is used widely during the initial evaluation of infertile patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of serum CA-125 levels during IUI cycles. Methods: Among the patients with controlled ovarian stimulation and IUI cycles at Seoul National University Hospital from Jan 2005 through Dec 2009, 92 cases with no identified endometriotic lesion, ovarian tumor, salpingeal lesion, or uterine myoma were selected. To compare the clinical characteristics between the pregnancy group and the non-pregnancy group, the Mann-Whitney U test and Fisher's exact test were used. Results: The overall pregnancy rate was 18.5% (17/92). The pregnancy group showed a higher number of follicles 16 mm in diameter ($p$=0.036), endometrial thickness ($p$ <0.001), ampules of gonadotropin ($p$=0.009), and higher body mass index ($p$=0.022) than the non-pregnancy group. No significant difference was observed in the serum CA-125 level or the proportion of patients with CA-125 exceeding 17 IU/mL between the two groups. Conclusion: The prognostic value of serum CA-125 level among infertile patients with IUI cycles is considered limited.

  • 우리 나라의 일부 지역 주민에서 혈청 CA19-9과 CA125 농도의 분포를 관찰함으로써 경계치 설정 이전에 미리 예비적 자료를 확보하고, 두 종양표지자의 측정치에 영향을 미치는 인자들, 특히 음주와 흡연 습관에 대한 통계적 유의성을 평가하기 위해 단시적 조사연구를 시도하였다. 1995년에 일부 농촌지역 성인 171명(남자 76명, 여자 95명)을 대상으로 하여 설문조사와 혈청 검사를 통해 개개인의 음주, 흡연습관 및 생식요인에 관한 정보 및 혈청 CA19-9 및 CA125 농도를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 혈청 CA19-9 농도의 평균 및 표준편차는 남녀 각각 $10.4{\pm}11.1{\mu}/ml$, $10.1{\pm}10.0{\mu}/ml$로 남녀간의 차이가 없었으나, 혈청 CA125 농도의 평균 및 표준편차는 각각 $2.5{\pm}12.2{\mu}/ml$, $11.2{\pm}7.4{\mu}/ml$로 여자에서 높았다. 한편 현재 임상적으로 적용되고 있는 양성판정치를 근거로 하여 판정한 혈청 CA19-9 및 CA125 양성률은 각각 2.9%, 1.8%이었으며, 각각 남녀간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 2) 혈청 CA19-9 농도는 일일 흡연량(r=0.23, p=0.054) 및 총 흡연량(r=0.28, p=0.017)과 양의 상관관계를 보였으며, 성별로는 여자에서만 유의한 상관관계를 나타내었다(일일흡연량 r=0.59, p=.0.026 ; 총흡연량 r=0.74, p=0.003). 3) 혈청 CA125 농도는 흡연시작연령(r=0.51, p=0.000) 과는 양의 상관관계를, 총흡연기간(r=-0.23, p=0.051) 및 총흡연량(r=-0.23, p=0.057)과는 음의 상관관계를 보였는데, 성별로는 남자에서만 흡연시작연령(r=0.28, p=0.031)과 유의한 상관관계를 나타내었다. 4) 혈청 CA125 농도는 여자에서 연령(r=-0.20, p=0.058), 생리중단 연령(r=-0.28, p=0.030), 총수유기간(r=-0.29, p=0.014)과 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 5) 혈청 CA19-9 및 CA125 농도는 비만, 학력, 그리고 음주와 유의한 상관관계가 없었으며, 여자에서는 혈청 CA19-9 및 CA125 농도간에 양의 상관관계를 보였다(r=0.20, p=0.047). 6) 연령 및 비만의 교란효과를 통제하기 위한 중회귀분석 결과, 혈청 CA19-9 농도와 유의한 회귀관계를 보이는 변수는 없었다. 이에 비해 혈청 CA125 농도는 전체대상례에선 흡연시작연령이 빠르거나(p=0.000), 총 흡연기간이 길거나(p=0.001), 총흡연량이 많거나(p=0.020), 생리중단연령이 늦거나(p=0.035), 수유를 오래 할수록(p=0.050) 감소하는 것으로 나타났으나, 성별로 분석하였을 때 여자에서 흡연인자들의 유의한 회귀관계가 모두 소실되었다. 결론적으로, 혈청 CA19-9 농도는 흡연, 음주, 월경-출산관련 변수들에 의해 영향을 받는 않는 것으로 보여 실제 임상에 적용할 때 이들 변수를 고려하지 않고도 이용될 수 있는 비교적 안정된 종양표지자로 생각된다. 이에 비해 혈청 CA125 농도는 흡연량이 증가할수록 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 연령과 비만지수에 따라 흡연량이 교란영향을 받고 있는 지표임을 알 수 있었다. 한편, 여성에서는 폐경연령과 총수유기간이 유의한 관계를 보여 향후 정상치역 결정시 생리, 수유 등의 변수를 고려해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

  • Purpose: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with the platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in predicting malignancy of pelvic masses which are pre-operatively malignant suspicious. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study we evaluated the clinical features of patients with ovarian masses which had pre-operatively been considered suspicious for malignancy. The patients whose intraoperative frozen sections were malign were classified as the study group, while those who had benign masses were the control group. Data recorded were age of the patient, diameter of the mass, pre-operative serum Ca 125 levels, platelet count, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and platelet/lymphocyte ratio. Results: There was statistically significantly difference between the groups in terms of age, diameter of the mass, serum Ca 125 levels, platelet number and platelet/lymphocyte ratio. Mean neutrophil/lymphocyte ratios showed no difference between the groups. ROC curve analysis showed that age, serum Ca 125 levels, platelet number and PLR were discriminative markers in predicting malignancy in adnexal masses. Conclusions: According to the current study, serum Ca 125 levels, pre-operative platelet number and PLR may be good prognostic factors, while NLR is an ineffective marker in predicting the malignant characteristics of a pelvic mass.

  • In this paper, we describe 72-year-old female patient without evidence of malignant disease presented with significantly elevated serum carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 levels by respiratory infections. She was diagnosed with respiratory infections due to Mycobacterium avium complex and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The serum CA 19-9 levels remarkably increased (1,453-5,300 U/mL; reference range, <37 U/mL) by respiratory infection and abruptly decreased (357-534 U/mL) whenever infection was controlled by specific treatments. This case suggests that serum CA 19-9 levels may be used as a diagnostic marker to indicate new or resistant infections to previous antibiotics in chronic lung diseases without significant changes in chest X-ray findings.

  • Objective: To explore the association of serum tumor abnormal protein (TAP) with other serological biomarkers e.g. carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and its clinical application in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Methods: Patients (N=98) were enrolled into this study with histologically or cytologically confirmed CRC. Using a test kit, the level of TAP was determined, while chemiluminescence was used to measure the levels of some other common serological biomarkers e.g. CEA, CA125 and CA19-9. Results: The area of TAP condensed particulate matter decreased after chemotherapy compared with before chemotherapy when CT or MRI scans showed disease control. In contrast, it increased with disease progression (P<0.05). Furthermore, a statistically significant difference was confirmed in monitoring of TAP and common serological biomarkers e.g. CEA and CA19-9 (p<0.05). Conclusions: Detecting TAP in CRC patients has high sensitivity and specificity and can be used as a new independent indicator for clinically monitoring CRC patients in the course of chemotherapy.

  • A 55-year-old woman was admitted for an elevated serum carbohydrate antigen-125 (CA-125) level, and a left pleural effusion, which were detected at a routine health examination. Computed tomography of the chest was performed upon admission, revealing extensive bilateral paratracheal and mediastinal lymph node enlargement with a massive left-sided pleural effusion. Subsequent analysis of the pleural fluid demonstrated consistency with an exudate, no evidence of malignant cells, and a normal adenosine deaminase. However, the pleural fluid and serum CA-125 levels were 2,846.8 U/mL and 229.5 U/mL, respectively. A positron emission tomography did not reveal any primary focus of malignancy. Finally, a surgical mediastinoscopic biopsy of several mediastinal lymph nodes was performed, revealing non-necrotizing granulomas, consistent with sarcoidosis. After a month of treatment of prednisolone, the left pleural effusion had resolved, and after 2 months the serum CA-125 level was normalized.

  • Objective: To analyze differential diagnostic accuracy of urinary human epidydimis secretory protein 4 (HE4) in patients with ovarian tumors. Materials and methods: In the case-control study 23 patients with ovarian cancer, 37 patients with benign ovarian tumors and 18 women in the control group were included. Serum CA125 values and urinary concentrations of HE4were assessed quantitatively. Urinary creatinine concentrations and glomerular filtration rate were also determined and used to calculate ratios to HE4. Results: Higher urinary HE4 concentrations were observed in patients with late stage ovarian cancer (p=0.001) and also in patients with early stage ovarian cancer when compared to patients with benign ovarian tumors (p=0.044). On analysis where all ovarian cancer patients were included, higher diagnostic accuracy was observed with calculated ratio of HE4 to glomerular filtration rate (GFR) to unchanged urinary HE4 concentrations -AUC 0.861 vs. 0.858. When discriminatory accuracy was calculated for urinary HE4/GFR ratio and unchanged urinary HE4 concentrations, the last demonstrated a higher area under the curve - 0.701 vs. 0.602. The urinary HE4/creatinine ratio had lower discriminatory characteristics than unchanged concentrations of urinary HE4. However, HE4 serum concentration was more accurate for discrimination of patients with benign and malignant ovarian tumors when compared to urinary HE4 and CA125 in sera (AUCs were 0.868 for serum HE4 and 0.856 and 0.653 for urinary HE4 and CA125, respectively). Conclusions: Ovarian cancer patients have higher urinary concentrations of human epidydimis secretory protein 4 than patients with benign ovarian tumors. Urinary HE4 has comparable discriminatory accuracy with serum HE4 for benign and malignant ovarian tumors and can be recommended as a non-invasive ovarian cancer risk assessment method.

  • 목적 :. 악성 혼합 뮬러리안 종양(malignant mixed Mullerian tumor, MMMT)은 매우 드문 자궁의 악성질환으로 매우 치명적인 임상경과를 보인다. 현재까지의 적절한 치료법은 수술적으로 완전제거를 하는 것이다. 이 연구에서는 MMMT 환자에서 진단시 병기결정과 추적관찰에 재발 및 잔류암을 진단하는데 FDG PET의 역할을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: MMMT로 진단 후 수술적 치료전 병기결정을 위해 검사한 환자가 1명, 수술 및 치료후 재발 및 잔류암을 검사하기 위해 9명의 환자가 FDG PET을 시행하였다. PET의 판독은 국소 대사항진 병소를 주로 육안적으로 판정하였다. 추적관찰 기간 동안의 종양표지자 CA 125 값과 영상검사, 병리조직 소견을 비교 평가하였다. 결과: 10명의 환자 중 3명에서 PET에서 이상 섭취소견이 있었다. FDG 양성인 환자의 한 예에서는 CA 125가 증가하였으며 이 경우 병리학적 소견에서 선암분획(carcinomatous element)인 높은 양상이었다. 이 경우 해부학적 영상법으로 찾을 수 없는 병소를 PET 영상에서만 찾을 수 있었다. 이에 반하여 다른 한 예에서는 CA 125가 추적관찰기간 동안 정상이었는데 PET 영상에서 재발 병소를 찾을 수 있었으며 해부학적 영상법보다 더 많은 병소를 찾을 수 있었다. 이 경우는 병리학적인 소견이 주로 육종분획(sarcomatous element)이 높은 양상이었다. 다른 한 예에서도 추적 기간 동안의 CA 125 상승이 관찰되었고 이 경우 선암분회이 역시 높게 관찰되었다. PET 검사에서 이상 소견이 없는 7 예에서는 추적관찰 기간($51.7{\pm}12.2$개월) 동안 종양표지자의 상승이나 재발의 소견은 없었으며 평균 재발없는 생존기간이 $36.4{\pm}6.0$ 개월이었다. 추적기간 중 PET상 이상 소견이 있었던 2명의 예에서는 추적관찰 기간($6.0{\pm}4.2$개월) 내에 모두 재발이 확인되었다. 결론: FDG PET은 MMMT 환자의 진단 당시 예상치 못했던 원위부의 전이나 치료 후 추적관찰 기간 동안 재발이나 잔류암의 진단에 유용한 검사법으로 이용할 수 있겠다.
