Duk et al. [35]. | 1994 | 33 (30 evaluable patients) with sarcoma | 12 out of 30 (40% of patients with uterine sarcoma) showed serum CA 125 levels higher than 16 Uml-1. No correlation between serum CA 125 levels and the histologic subtype was found. |
Juang et al. [36]. | 2006 | 42 patients with ULMS, 84 patients with ULM | Serum CA125 levels were significantly higher in the uterine ULMS group than CA 125 in the ULM group The correlation between CA 125 levels and stage of the ULMS was described. |
Yilmaz et al. [37]. | 2009 | 26 patients with uterine sarcoma and 2382 patients with ULM | No correlation between CA 125 levels and uterine sarcoma and ULM. |
Skorstad et al. [38]. | 2016 | 86 patients with ULMS | CA 125 levels higher than 75 kU/L corresponded to more advance stage of disease (FIGO stage IV) compared to the group with CA 125 levels lower than 75 kU/L. |
Zhang Fenfen et al. [39]. | 2021 | 37 patients with ULMS, 102 patients with degenerated ULM | CA 125 used as one of the LMS indicators may be a promising method to differentiate ULMS and ULM preoperatively. |
