The value of HE4, D ‐dimer, and fibrinogen compared to CA125 alone in triaging women presenting with pelvic masses: a retrospective cohort study

ConclusionsA novel biomarker panel of HE4 ± D‐dimer ± Fibrinogen outperformed CA125 alone as a high specificity biomarker in postmenopausal women and could aid in the preoperative triaging of pelvic masses. No biomarker(s) outperformed CA125 in pre‐menopausal women.
