Comparative Meta-Analysis of Carbohydrate Antigen 125 (CA125), Human Epididymis Protein 4 (HE4), and Diagnostic Indices (Risk of Malignancy Index (RMI) and Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA)) for Pre-operative Detection of Ovarian Carcinoma. [PDF]
Ovarian cancer remains a leading cause of gynecological cancer-related mortality, primarily due to late-stage diagnosis. Effective pre-operative differentiation between benign and malignant ovarian masses is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) in benign and malignant diseases [PDF]
Background: Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) is described as a useful new biomarker in ovarian cancer. As HE4 is neither tumor nor organ specific, we intensively investigated the occurrence of this protein in female and male patients with various benign ...

Significantly elevated serum human epididymis protein-4 in chronic kidney disease patients without ovarian cancer: A large-scale retrospective study. [PDF]
Human epididymis protein‐4 (HE‐4) is a commonly used biomarker for diagnosing ovarian cancer. Elevated HE‐4 has also been observed in various benign conditions including chronic kidney disease (CKD); however, generalizability and statistical power of ...

The diagnostic value of human epididymis protein 4 for endometrial cancer is moderate [PDF]
Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) has been used as a biomarker of endometrial cancer (EC) in clinical practice. However, there remains a lack of systemic research on the critical values of HE4 for diagnosing different clinical stages and pathological ...
