Abstract

OBJECTIVES

To understand the importance of the serum level of Ca-125 among pelvic mass, we performed a study.

METHOD

From January to December 1998, we performed the study. Before hysterectomy, we performed a blood sampling to know the serum level of Ca-125, After hysterectomy, we weighed the uterus and measured the thickness of endometrium and other histologic characteristics.

RESULTS

We performed my research to 80 peoples. The relation between uterine weight and the serum level of Ca-125 is little, if ever(R2=0.0007), and the relation between the thickness of endometrium and the serum level of Ca-125 is also little, if ever(R2=0.0353). The relation between leiomyoma, the cycle of endometrium and the serum level of Ca-125 were also little, but there was a close relationship between adenomyosis and the serum level of Ca-125.

CONCLUSION

There was little relationship between uterine weight and the serum level of Ca-125.

Keywords: Uterine weight, Ca-125 level in serum
