Tumor Markers in Differential Diagnosis of Benign Ovarian Masses
The findings of this study demonstrate that the combined use of tumor markers (CEA, AFP, CA125, CA19-9, SCC, and HE4) has value in diagnosing benign ovarian tumors, including luteal cysts, OMCT, ovarian endometriosis, and benign epithelial tumors of the ovary. However, it is important to acknowledge the limitations of this study, which include its single-center nature and the small sample size. Despite these limitations, the results highlight the potential utility of these markers in clinical practice.
