The HE4 test measures the levels of Human Epididymis Protein 4 in the blood, a biomarker primarily used in the detection and monitoring of ovarian cancer, especially epithelial ovarian cancer. It is often used alongside the CA-125 test to improve the accuracy of diagnosing ovarian malignancies and assessing the risk of cancer in women presenting with pelvic masses.

• Individuals undergoing treatment or follow-up for ovarian cancer

Purpose of the Test:
• Diagnostic Aid: Helps in distinguishing between benign and malignant pelvic masses
• Prognostic Marker: Monitors treatment effectiveness and potential recurrence in ovarian cancer patients
• Risk Stratification: Often used in conjunction with the ROMA (Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm) score to assess cancer risk
