CA-125 Examination as a Predictor the Resectability of Advanced Stage of Ovarian Cancer

Abstract

Objective: To determine serum CA-125 examination as predictor in predicting the resectability of advanced ovarian cancer at dr. M. Djamil Padang Methods: The research sample was obtained using a consecutive sampling technique, wherein samples were collected one by one within the specifi ed timeframe until the required sample size was achieved. Results: The mean CA-125 level among respondents was 589.66 U/mL with a standard deviation of 841.55 U/mL. The study also revealed that a CA-125 cutoff value of 337.5 U/mL demonstrated high sensitivity (92.31%) and specifi city (90.90%) in predicting the resectability of ovarian cancer. Conclusion: Serum CA-125 examination shows a promising result in predicting the resectability of advanced ovarian cancer at dr. M. Djamil Padang
