Serum CA125 in combination with ferritin improves diagnostic accuracy for epithelial ovarian cancer.

CONCLUSION: Ferritin discriminates between HCs and EOC patients, especially in early stage disease. The combination of serum ferritin and CA125 provides the higher diagnostic accuracy to screen for EOC. Serum ferritin could serve as an EOC biomarker to complement the standard CA125 test.
