Abstract
Aim. The aim of the study was to conduct a comparative analysis of the preoperative level of the concentration of tumor markers CA-125, HE4 and DJ-1 in the blood serum in endometrial and non-endometrial cancer of the uterine body.
Materials and methods. 249 patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC), 33 patients with serous (SC) and 24 patients with clear cell carcinoma (CCC) of the uterine body of stages IIIV according to FIGO were examined. Prior to the start of specialized antitumor treatment, the concentration of CA-125, HE4 and DJ-1 proteins was determined in blood serum by enzyme immunoassay.
Results. In patients with EC, SC and CCC the blood levels of CA-125 and HE4 tumor markers were elevated relative to the reference normal range, but did not differ significantly between the groups (p>0,05). A comparative analysis showed that a statistically significant difference between the groups was found only for the DJ-1 marker. In patients with EC, the mean blood level of DJ-1 corresponded to 521,4±12,8 pg/ml and in rare forms of uterine body cancer it was higher. With CCC the concentration DJ-1 was 984,2±19,2 pg/ml and in SC – 998,5±23,7 pg/ml.
Conclusion. For the differential diagnosis of endometrial and non-endometrial cancer of the body of the uterus, preoperative measurement of the concentration of DJ-1 in the blood is informative.
