Abstract:
The accuracy of the markers CA 125, CA 15-3, CA 50 serum levels and the CT findings as alternative monitoring techniques to second look has been evaluated in 25 patients. The negative predictive value for the CA 125 was of 55% and its sensibility seems not to be increased by the association of the other markers. For the CT findings we report a diagnostic accuracy of 76%.
