Comparison of CA 125 alone and risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm (ROMA) in patients with adnexal mass: A multicenter study.
Current Problems in Cancer 2020 April
This multicenter study aimed to evaluate the performance of CA 125 and risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm (ROMA) in differentiating epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) from benign adnexal mass. We consecutively enrolled 782 patients referred to tertiary hospitals with adnexal mass requiring surgical treatment. A total 322 of patients with benign adnexal disease and 327 patients with EOC were included in the analysis. Using reference cut-off values in premenopausal women, ROMA had better specificity (0.926 vs. 0.787, P < 0.001) and accuracy (0.875 vs. 0.777, P < 0.001) than CA 125 alone and comparable sensitivity (0.707 vs. 0.747, P = 0.549). Using optimum cut-off values in premenopausal women, CA 125 and ROMA had comparable specificity (0.922 vs. 0.947, P < 0.001) and accuracy (0.871 vs. 0.868, P = 0.879); however, sensitivity for CA 125 was inferior to that of ROMA (0.707 vs. 0.613, P = 0.039). In postmenopausal women, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were comparable between CA 125 alone and ROMA using either reference cut-off values or optimum cut-off values.ROMA showed better diagnostic performance in differentiating EOC from benign adnexal tumors among premenopausal women. However, in postmenopausal women, ROMA did not show any benefit over CA 125 alone.
