The levels of CA125 (reference values [RVs] 35 U/mL and 65 U/mL), CA15.3 (RV = 32 U/mL), Mucin-like carcinoma associated antigen (MCA; RV = 15 U/mL), CAM26 (RV = 75 U/mL) and CAM29 (RV = 15 U/mL) were preoperatively assayed in blood samples drawn from 42 patients with ovarian carcinoma and 101 patients with benign ovarian pathology undergoing laparotomy at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the University of Pisa. With 65 U/mL as RV, CA125 had a sensitivity (SE) of 80.9% and a specificity (SP) of 89.1% for ovarian carcinoma; with 35 U/mL as RV, CA125 had a SE of 85.7% and a SP of 66.3%; CA15.3 had a SE of 57.1% and a SP of 96.0%; MCA had a SE of 59.5% and a SP 86.1%; CAM26 had a SE of 21.4% and a SP of 96.0%, CAM29 had a SE of 64.3% and a SP of 97.0%. The association of CA125 with each of other antigens did not improve the SE of CA125 assay alone in the detection of patients with ovarian carcinoma. In conclusion, the present data showed that the measurement of CA15.3, MCA and CAM26 did not give any additional information with respect to CA125 assay in the diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma. The good SE and the very good SP and diagnostic accuracy of CAM29 could suggest further investigation in order to evaluate the role of this antigen in the management of patients with this malignancy.
