Background: Ovarian cancer has a significant mortality rate due to late diagnosis. Case-specific management can be improved with early and precise diagnosis. Among all gynaecological cancers, ovarian carcinoma has the greatest fatality rate. HE4 (human epididymis protein 4) is a novel biomarker for ovarian cancer diagnosis that has been shown to be overexpressed in ovarian cancer cells.
The study's goals
and objectives were to assess the immunohistochemistry expression of HE4 in
diverse epithelial ovarian neoplasms.
Material and
Methods: From December 2016 to January 2019, our institution conducted a
cross-sectional, prospective, single-institution study in the department of
Pathology in partnership with the department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics.
This study included a total of 71 patients.
The most prevalent
epithelial tumour was serous tumour, followed by mucinous tumour. High-grade
serous carcinoma and malignant endometrioid tumours had the highest percentage
of HE4 expression. The majority of benign serous and mucinous tumours have a
negative expression. We discovered a statistically significant link between HE4
expression and several epithelial ovarian tumour types (p=0.000).
