AbstractEpithelial ovarian cancer has become the most frequent cause of deaths among gynecologic malignancies. Our study elucidates the diagnostic performance of Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA), Human epididymis secretory protein 4 (HE4) and cancer antigen (CA125). To compare the diagnostic accuracy of ROMA, HE-4 and CA125 in the early diagnosis and screening of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer. Literature search in electronic databases such as Medicine: MEDLINE (through PUBMED interface), EMBASE, Google Scholar, Science Direct and Cochrane library from January 2011 to August 2020. Studies that evaluated the diagnostic measures of ROMA, HE4 and CA125 by using Chemilumincence immunoassay or electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA or ECLIA) as index tests. Using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2). We included 32 studies in our meta-analysis. We calculated AUC by SROC, pooled estimated like sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratio, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), Tau square, Cochran Q through random effect analysis and meta-regression. Data was retrieved from 32 studies. The number of studies included for HE4, CA125 and ROMA tests was 25, 26 and 22 respectively. The patients with EOC were taken as cases, and women with benign ovarian mass were taken as control, which was 2233/5682, 2315/5875 and 2281/5068 respectively for the markers or algorithm. The pooled estimates of the markers or algorithm were sensitivity: ROMA (postmenopausal) (0.88, 95% CI 0.86–0.89) > ROMA (premenopausal) 0.80, 95% CI 0.78–0.83 > CA-125(0.84, 95% CI 0.82–0.85) > HE4 (0.73, 95% CI 0.71–0.75) specificity: HE4 (0.90, 95% CI 0.89–0.91) > ROMA (postmenopausal) (0.83, 95% CI 0.81–0.84) > ROMA (premenopausal) (0.80, 95% CI 0.79–0.82) > CA125 (0.73, 95%CI 0.72–0.74), Diagnostic odd’s ratio ROMA (postmenopausal) 44.04, 95% CI 31.27–62.03, ROMA (premenopausal)-18.93, 95% CI 13.04–27.48, CA-125-13.44, 95% CI 9.97–18.13, HE4-41.03, 95% CI 27.96–60.21 AUC(SE): ROMA (postmenopausal) 0.94(0.01), ROMA (premenopausal)-0.88(0.01), HE4 0.91(0.01), CA125-0.86(0.02) through bivariate random effects model considering the heterogeneity. Our study found ROMA as the best marker to differentiate EOC from benign ovarian masses with greater diagnostic accuracy as compared to HE4 and CA125 in postmenopausal women. In premenopausal women, HE4 is a promising predictor of Epithelial ovarian cancer; however, its utilisation requires further exploration. Our study elucidates the diagnostic performance of ROMA, HE4 and CA125 in EOC. ROMA is a promising diagnostic marker of Epithelial ovarian cancers in postmenopausal women, while HE4 is the best diagnostic predictor of EOC in the premenopausal group. Our study had only EOC patients as cases and those with benign ovarian masses as controls. Further, we considered the studies estimated using the markers by the same index test: CLIA or ECLIA. The good number of studies with strict inclusion criteria reduced bias because of the pooling of studies with different analytical methods, especially for HE4. We did not consider the studies published in foreign languages. Since a few studies were available for HE4 and CA125 in the premenopausal and postmenopausal group separately, data were inadequate for sub-group analysis. Further, we did not assess these markers' diagnostic efficiency stratified by the stage and type of tumour due to insufficient studies.

BACKGROUND: It is essential in the management of ovarian cancers to identify the patients who will benefit from primary complete cytoreductive surgery and those who will rather benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the predictive value of preoperative inflammatory markers, i.e. platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR), red cell distribution width (RDW), and serum CA125 level for surgical outcome in epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS: A retrospective study was carried out in Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar, Bali. A total of 54 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer who underwent primary exploratory laparotomy from January 2018 to November 2019 was recruited. Data about clinical characteristics, preoperative inflammatory markers, serum CA125 level, and surgical outcome (optimal vs. suboptimal) was collected from the medical records. Predictive value of the markers were evaluated using ROC curve to determine their accuracy (area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value). RESULTS: Mean age, parity, and tumor size did not differ between the study groups (p> 0.05). The group with suboptimal outcome had significantly higher PLR, NLR, MLR, and RDW value (p< 0.05). Using the ROC curve, a cut off value was determined for each predictor, i.e. PLR: 196.50, NLR: 3.34, MLR: 0.24, RDW: 13.19, CA125: 300.85. AUC for each predictor were as follows: PLR 0.718 (95% CI: 0.578–0.859), NLR 0.676 (95% CI: 0.529–0.823), MLR 0.700 (95% CI: 0.560–0.839), RDW 0.712 (95% CI: 0.572–0.852), CA125 0.593 (95% CI: 0.436–0.750). Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for predicting suboptimal outcome were as follows: PLR (74.2%, 69.6%, 72.2%), NLR (64.5%, 60.9%, 62.9%), MLR (74.2%, 59.1%, 66.7%), RDW (74.2%, 60.9%, 68.5%), CA125 (54.8%, 60.9%, 57.4%). We have some limitations such as small numbers of sample, we generalized whole kinds of ovarian cancer, and this study does not describe follow-up features. CONCLUSION: Preoperative serum inflammatory markers (PLR, MLR, and RDW) may serve as useful markers to predict the surgical outcome with fair accuracy in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer.
