Primary lymphoma of the female genital tract masquerading as gynecological malignancy. (PubMed, BMC Womens Health)
PLFGT usually presents as gynecological symptoms and solid masses in pelvis. Surgery or biopsy was the way to obtain the pathologic diagnosis, and combination chemotherapy is the efficient method for PLFGT. Making an accurate preoperative diagnosis is of paramount importance to avoid radical gynecologic surgery.

ReClassification of Patients with Ambiguous CA125 for Optimised Pre-Surgical Triage. (PubMed, Diagnostics (Basel))
In this study we applied a net reclassification approach to assess the use of MMP index to rescue those cases where low CA125 incorrectly excludes cancer diagnoses, or where benign disease is incorrectly assessed as "high risk" due to elevated CA125. Reclassification of such patients is of significant value to assist in the timely and accurate referral for patients where CA125 titer is uninformative.

CA125 Kinetics as a Potential Biomarker for Peritoneal Metastasis Progression following Taxane-Plus-Ramucirumab Administration in Patients with Advanced Gastric Cancer. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Progression-free survival in the CA125-increased group, defined by an increase of 0.0067%/day using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, was significantly poorer among patients with peritoneal metastases. In conclusion, this study highlights that CA125 kinetics can serve as an early predictor for the progression of peritoneal metastasis during TAX/RAM treatment.

Preoperative CA 19-9 Predicts Disease Progression in Colorectal Peritoneal Metastases Treated with Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy: An Analysis from the US HIPEC Collaborative. (PubMed, Ann Surg Oncol)
Elevated CA 19-9 is associated with decreased PFS in patients with CRPM. While traditionally CEA is the main tumor marker assessed in colon cancer, we found that CA 19-9 may better inform preoperative risk stratification for poor oncologic outcomes in patients with CRPM. However, prospective studies are required to confirm this association.

CA125-Associated Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time and Thrombin Time Decrease in Patients with Adenomyosis. (PubMed, J Multidiscip Healthc)
Correlation analysis revealed that APTT (r= -0.207) and TT (r = -0.174) were negatively correlated with the level of CA125. The shortening of CA125-related APTT and TT indicates that it is meaningful to detect coagulation parameters of patients with elevated CA125 levels early, dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia, and maybe further discover the hypercoagulability and prevent the occurrence of thrombus in adenomyosis.

Cytokine analysis showed elevated interleukin (IL) levels, especially IL-6 in pleural effusion. Treatment with immunosuppressive therapy resulted in reduced cancer antigen (CA) 125 levels and decreased effusion volume, demonstrating a positive response to intervention in this case of PPMS.

Prognostic Factors for Uterine Sarcoma and Carcinosarcoma: Insights from a 10-Year Follow-Up Study. (PubMed, Med Sci Monit)
CONCLUSIONS A 10-year follow-up of patients with uterine sarcoma indicates that age above 60 years at diagnosis and high p53 expression and elevated CA125 levels before treatment can be independent prognostic factors. The high diagnostic sensitivity of sTNF RI and VEGF suggests the possibility of using these biomarkers in the early diagnosis of uterine sarcomas.

Real-world data on niraparib maintenance treatment in patients with non-gBRCA mutated platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer. (PubMed, Int J Gynecol Cancer)
In a real-world setting, niraparib maintenance treatment in patients with non-gBRCA1/2 mutated recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer showed effectiveness comparable with published phase III studies and acceptable safety. Individualized dosing is essential to minimize adverse events. CA125 levels at start of niraparib treatment may help to estimate the individual prognosis.

Exploring the landscape of CA-125 testing: A comprehensive analysis of Ministry of Health data. (PubMed, North Clin Istanb)
Our findings provide valuable insights into the utilization patterns and clinical implications of CA-125 testing in ovarian and endometrial cancer diagnosis. While CA-125 remains a prominent tumor marker, its interpretation should consider age, gender, and clinical context. The study emphasizes the potential benefits of integrating additional markers and imaging modalities to enhance diagnostic accuracy. These findings contribute to optimizing the use of CA-125 testing for early detection and management of gynecological malignancies, thereby improving patient outcomes.

Preoperative serum CA125 level is a good prognostic predictor in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma after hepatectomy: A single-center retrospective study. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore))
CA125 also had strong predictive value for the prognosis of different ICC subgroups, including patients without lymph node metastasis and with elevated carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels. Preoperative elevated serum CA125 level is a noninvasive, simple, and reliable indicator of the prognosis of ICC patients after hepatectomy.

Tumor volume might predict the state of lymph nodes in EC and it could give information regarding surgical management.

Small Cell Carcinoma of the Ovary, Hypercalcemic Type (SCCOHT): Patient Characteristics, Treatment, and Outcome-A Systematic Review. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
SCCOHT is a rare and aggressive ovarian cancer, with a poor prognosis, and information on adequate treatment for this cancer is lacking. The testing of mutations in SMARCA4 is crucial for an accurate diagnosis and may lead to new treatment options. Harmonization and international collaboration to obtain high-quality data on diagnostic investigations, treatment, and outcome are warranted to be able to develop international treatment guidelines to improve the survival chances of young women with SCCOHT.

Risk factors analysis and prediction model establishment of malignant tumor in patients with polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PubMed, Zhonghua Yi Xue Za Zhi)

Older age, male, glucocorticoid therapy resistance, not complicated with ILD and arthralgia, elevated CA125, positive anti-TIF1-γ antibody, decreased LYM count are risk factors for malignancy in PM/DM patients, and the established nomogram model shows good predictive ability.

Endophytic and exophytic patterns in borderline ovarian tumors show superimposable recurrence rates and disease-free survival.
