Abstract

Cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) is used especially in the follow-up of ovarian cancer and in monitoring the efficacy of treatment. A number of benign and malignant conditions are associated with elevated serum CA-125 levels. Serosal fluid CA-125 levels can be elevated in many diseases with serosal involvement. The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic value of CA-125 in discriminating malignant and tuberculosis pleural effusions. Sixty-one patients with exudative pleural effusions were included in the study. Thirty-three patients were diagnosed as malignant pleural effusion and 28 patients as tuberculosis pleurisy. Serum and effusion CA-125 levels were measured and effusion to serum CA-125 ratio is calculated for all the patients. Serum CA-125 levels were above the normal ranges in 81,8% of malignant and 71,4% of tuberculosis pleural effusions. Serum and pleural effusion CA-125 levels of malignant pleural effusions were higher than those of tuberculosis pleural effusions but the difference was not statistically significant. Serum and pleural effusion CA-125 levels and effusion to serum CA-125 ratio has no value in discriminating malignant and tuberculosis pleural effusions.

Özet

Over kanserinin takibinde ve tedaviye cevabın izlenmesinde kullanılan bir tümör markın olan CA-125, över kanseri dışında birçok malign ve benign durumlarda serumda yükselebilmektedir. Özellikle seröz zarların patolojik olarak tutulduğu durumlarda seröz sıvılarda yüksek seviyelere ulaşabilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı eksuda vasfında plevral efüzyona neden olan patolojilerden malignite ile tüberküloz ayırımında CA-125'in tanı değerini araştırmaktır. Eksuda vasfında plevral efüzyonu olan 61 hasta çalışmaya alındı. Otuz üç hasta malign plevral efüzyon ve 28 hasta tüberküloz plörezi tanısı aldı. Tüm hastaların serum ve plevral mayi CA-125 düzeyleri ölçüldü ve plevral mayi/serum CA-125 oranlan hesaplandı. Malign plevral efüzyonu olan hastaların %81,8'inde ve tüberküloz plörezili hastaların %71,4'ünde serum CA-125 düzeyleri normal sınırların üzerinde idi. Malign plevral erozyonlarda serum ve plevral mayi CA-125 değerleri tüberküloz plörezilere göre yüksek olmakla birlikte aradaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi. Serum ve plevral mayi CA-125 değerleri ile plevral mayi/serum CA-125 oranının malign plörezilerle tüberküloz plörezilerin ayırımında değeri olmadığı kanaatine ulaşıldı.
