Resumen

SELDI-TOF MS analysis of cyst fluids identified 95 peaks that discriminate malignant, borderline, and benign ovarian tumors. Three prominent peaks, which correspond to calgranulin A (m/z 10847) and two isoforms of calgranulin B (m/z 12717 and 13294), have higher concentrations in borderline and malignant cyst fluids. Together, calgranulin A and B distinguish borderline and malignant tumors from benign tumors with 28.6% and 63.6% sensitivity for early stage disease, respectively, at 95% specificity and with 74.8% accuracy. Ovarian cyst fluids are useful for discovering discriminatory biomarkers, such as calgranulin, which may have utility for detecting, diagnosing, and biochemically classifying ovarian tumors.
