Application value of Ki67 and serum CA125 in the deep myometrial invasion of endometrial adenocarcinoma

Abstract

Abstract Objective To investigate the application value of Ki67 and serum CA125 in diagnosing the deep myometrial invasion of endometrial adenocarcinoma. Methods This study retrospectively analyzed 80 patients with endometrial adenocarcinoma, who underwent procedure from January 2018 to June 2021 at Senior Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, the Seventh Medical Center of PLA General Hospital assigned to the Fourth Medical Center. The general clinical data, serum CA125 and Ki67 levels were compared between the superficial muscular infiltration group and the deep myometrial invasion group. We investigated the application value of Ki67 and serum CA125 in diagnosing the deep myometrial invasion of endometrial adenocarcinoma by the ROC curve. Results 80 patients were retrospectively analyzed, and 53 cases were superficial muscular infiltration, 27 cases were deep myometrial invasion. There was significant difference in age, tumor diameter, lymph node metastasis, Ki67, serum CA125, p53 status, serum CA125 and Ki67 levels between the two groups (p < 0.05). As high as 35% of Ki67 was the optimal cutoff value for predicting DMI in endometrial adenocarcinoma, and the area under ROC curve was 0.691, the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis were 88.9% and 56.6%. As high as 43.645 U/ml of serum CA125 was the optimal cutoff value for predicting DMI in endometrial adenocarcinoma, and the area under ROC curve was 0.668, the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis were 40.7% and 92.5%. After combined detection of both, the area under ROC curve was 0.719, and its sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis were 96.3% and 43.4%. Conclusion Serum CA125 and Ki67 may be used to evaluate DMI in patients with endometrial adenocarcinoma, and the diagnostic value of combination is higher, which provide reference for clinical treatment.
