Evaluation of CA-125 and soluble CD-23 in patients with pelvic endometriosis: a case-control study
Open accessAbstract
To evaluate serum concentrations of CA-125 and soluble CD-23 and to correlate them with clinical symptoms, localization and stage of pelvic endometriosis and histological classification of the disease. Blood samples were collected from 44 women with endometriosis and 58 without endometriosis, during the first three days (1st sample) and during the 7th, 8th and 9th day (2nd sample) of the menstrual cycle. Measurements of CA-125 and soluble CD-23 were performed by ELISA. Mann-Whitney U test was used for age, pain evaluations (visual analog scale) and biomarkers concentrations. Serum levels of CA- 125 were higher in endometriosis patients when compared to the control group during both periods of the menstrual cycle evaluated in the study. This marker was also elevated in women with chronic pelvic pain, deep dyspareunia (2nd sample), dysmenorrhea (both samples) and painful defecation during the menstrual flow (2nd sample). CA-125 concentration was higher in advanced stages of the disease in both samples and also in women with ovarian endometrioma. Concerning CD-23, no statistically significant differences were observed between groups. The concentrations of CA-125 were higher in patients with endometriosis than in patients without the disease. No significantly differences were observed for soluble CD-23 levels between groups. Avaliar as concentrações séricas de CA-125 e CD-23 solúvel e correlacioná-los com sintomas clínicos, localização e estádio da endometriose pélvica e classificação histológica da doença. Amostras de sangue foram coletadas de 44 mulheres com endometriose e 58 sem endometriose durante os primeiros três dias (1ª amostra) e durante o sétimo, o oitavo e o nono dia (2ª amostra) do ciclo menstrual. As dosagens de CA-125 e CD-23 solúvel foram realizadas por ELISA. O teste U de Mann-Whitney foi usado para idade, avaliação de dor (escala analógica visual) e para a concentração dos biomarcadores. Os níveis séricos de CA-125 foram mais altos nas pacientes com endometriose do que no grupo-controle quando avaliados em ambos os períodos do ciclo menstrual, assim como apresentaram-se elevados nessas mulheres quando referiam dor pélvica crônica, dispareunia de profundidade (coleta na 2ª amostra), dismenorreia (ambas as amostras) e dor ao evacuar durante o fluxo menstrual (coleta na 2ª amostra). A concentração de CA-125 foi mais alta no estádio avançado em ambas as amostras, assim como em mulheres com endometriomas ovarianos. Em relação ao CD-23 solúvel, nenhuma diferença estatisticamente significativa foi observada entre os grupos. As concentrações de CA-125 foram mais altas em pacientes com endometriose do que em pacientes sem a doença. Nenhuma diferença estatisticamente significativa foi observada para CD-23 solúvel entre os grupos.

Combinations of CA-125 with urocortin, chlamydia antibody, CD23, and inflammatory cytokines did not provide sufficiently high sensitivity or specificity for endometriosis and results remained unvalidated.
“CA-125 has been measured simultaneously with urocortin [34], chlamydia antibody [35], CD23 [39], and inflammatory cytokines [32]. However, none of these combinations provided a sufficiently high sensitivity or specificity for endometriosis and results remained unvalidated.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
