Roma index gynecology at ovarian cyst: risk assessment, deciphering

Oncological processes in ovarian tissue - is a common disease that requires early diagnosis. Roma index in gynecology with ovarian cyst specifically used for determining the presence of tumor. To conduct the study using specific proteins that indicate the presence of tumors. Timely detection of disease can quickly begin treatment before the onset of complications.

What is the index of Roma

Prognostic indicator of tumor is a special test that is performed to identify the two tumor markers to ovarian cancer in women. These are specific protein molecules - HE 4 and CA 125. They are found in the epidermis of the reproductive system, from which enter the blood in small amounts.

If there is a process in sexual Cancer patient's system, the tumor cells multiply rapidly, and their number increases. Increases proportionally with the tumor marker and HE 4 epithelial ovarian cancer, which enters the bloodstream.

The importance of testing for ovarian cancer is that the concentration of these proteins increases only in the body of the patient. Furthermore, their content is in direct relationship to the type of disease and its stage of development. This allows not only to suggest the presence of cancer, but also to estimate its rate of progression. This information is used in the selection methods of treatment for the patient.

Index Roman: Risk calculation of ovarian cancer

Based on the level of tumor markers for uterine cancer and ovarian neoplasms determined probability of presence in the tissue of the genitals. According to the study the patient belongs to a group with a high or low risk of developing the disease. The analysis determined the quantitative content of both proteins, as well as the ratio of levels among themselves.

Assessment of risk of ovarian cancer by the algorithm Roma held on complicated formulas that take into account the age of the patient group. It uses a type of index Roma.

Important! Roma 1 indicator is used in women of mature age before menopause. Roma 2 - code required when a patient examination in postmenopausal status.

How, when and why you need to take this analysis

The analysis is performed in suspected tumor pridaktov. The study reveals the pathological process at an early stage of development, which significantly reduces the death rate among patients. diagnostic technique can be considered as a screening and less traumatic method of research, which provides the raw data of the pathological process.

Research can be carried out as a preventive measure in patients who are at high risk of oncological diseases. Prognostic indicator of tumor often calculated by detecting the surround formation on ultrasound.

Important! If the doctor is suspected tumor, he appoints the diagnosis of tumor markers level. This survey allows you to avoid invasive and relatively traumatic procedure - laparoscopy.

Ovarian Tumor: norm and deviation

Tumor markers for ovarian cancer rate index Roma depends on what age group is the patient. Between premenopause physiological index is much lower. Standards for both age groups are presented in the table.

Women before menopause	Women after menopause
CA 125 protein content	Not more than 35 U / ml
Contents oncomarker NOT 4	Less than 140 pmol / L
index Roma	Up to 7.5%	Up to 24%

When analyzing ovarian tumor markers decryption depends on the method of calculation of the indicators, which use laboratory. Therefore, in the study should clarify the physiological significance to the hospital where the procedure is conducted.

Improving prognostic indicator of cancer above normal values ​​do not always indicate the presence of cancer. This is especially true of boundary values, which are only a little more than the norm. In this case it is necessary to conduct a full examination of the patient, which will confirm or refute the diagnosis.

Index Roma when ovarian cyst

In the presence of cysts always marked increase in the level of the indicator associated with the destruction of the epithelial cells during the development of education. Relative to normal levels of cancer marker - no more than 60 U / ml. A woman should be screened regularly and determine the value of this indicator. This is necessary in order to timely detect possible malignancy of cysts.

Especially the interpretation of results

Obtaining high-level Roma index indicates elevated levels of tumor markers in the blood. These figures are not wholly pridaktov confirmation of the presence of cancer. Boundary values ​​may be due to physiological features associated with anatomical and physiological characteristics of the patient's reproductive system.

A slight excess usually indicates the presence of cancer, which is in the initial stage of development. His identification allows to stop the disease before the occurrence of severe complications. More pronounced increase in tumor markers level in the patient's blood indicates a severe form of the disease, at the late stages of development.

Attention! The sharp rise in the level of proteins is considered a sign of pathological terminal (oncology) stage of the cancer process.

Roma index gynecology at ovarian cyst can quickly assess the possibility of a woman has cancer. But do not start panicking after getting a positive result. In case of deviation from the norm is necessary for a complete examination and the confirmation of the diagnosis - immediately begin treatment of cancer processes.
