Abstract:

Background: Ovarian cancer is the seventh most common cancer in females with the highest mortality rate of all gynecological cancers due to its late discovery and ambiguous symptoms. Thus, there is a need for new promising strategies to diagnose ovarian cancer. Aim: We aimed at finding a characteristic plasma proteome pattern that could be used for the detection of epithelial ovarian cancer. Methods: The combination of MagSi-proteomics C8 beads, Ultraflextreme MALDITOF and ClinProTools software was used to compare the plasma protein spectra from 50 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, 20 patients with benign ovarian masses and 50 healthy females. Results: Our study showed that a plasma profile of 21 differentiated peaks between patients with epithelial ovarian cancer and healthy controls with a sensitivity of 73 % and a specificity of 82.8% upon external validation, while a 5-peak differentiated profile of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer from patients with benign ovarian masses with a sensitivity of 81% and a specificity of 73.7%. Conclusion: MALDI-TOF proteomic profiling represents a promising potential tool for diagnosing epithelial ovarian cancer.
