Multicenter evaluation of blood-based biomarkers for the detection of endometriosis and adenomyosis: a prospective non-interventional study
- Abstract:
-
Objective: To evaluate blood-based biomarkers to detect endometriosis and/or adenomyosis across nine European centers (June 2014–April 2018).
Methods: This prospective, non-interventional study assessed the diagnostic accuracy of 54 blood-based biomarker immunoassays in samples from 919 women (aged 18–45 years) with suspicion of endometriosis and/or adenomyosis versus symptomatic controls. Endometriosis was stratified by revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine stage. Symptomatic controls were “pathologic symptomatic controls” or “pathology-free symptomatic controls”. The main outcome measure was receiver operating characteristic-area under the curve (ROC-AUC) and Wilcoxon P values corrected for multiple testing (q values).
Results: CA-125 performed best in “all endometriosis cases” versus “all symptomatic controls” (AUC 0.645, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.600–0.690, q < 0.001) and increased (P < 0.001) with disease stage. In “all endometriosis cases” versus “pathology-free symptomatic controls”, S100-A12 performed best (AUC 0.692, 95% CI 0.614–0.769, q = 0.001) followed by CA-125 (AUC 0.649, 95% CI 0.569–0.729, q = 0.021). In “adenomyosis only cases” versus “symptomatic controls” or “pathology-free symptomatic controls”, respectively, the top-performing biomarkers were sFRP-4 (AUC 0.615, 95% CI 0.551–0.678, q = 0.045) and S100-A12 (AUC 0.701, 95% CI 0.611–0.792, q = 0.004).
Conclusion: This study concluded that no biomarkers tested could diagnose or rule out endometriosis/adenomyosis with high certainty.
