Calculating risk assessment for finding an ovarian malignancy during surgery in premenopausal women who present with an adnexal mass

Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test

Women with ovarian cancer symptoms and adnexal masses present primarily to gynecologists, primary care physicians, or general surgeons. Triage guidelines from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists recommend referral of women with a pelvic mass at high risk for ovarian cancer to gynecologic oncologists. Specialized treatment improves patient outcomes resulting in fewer complications and better survival rates when compared to patients treated by surgeons less familiar with the management of ovarian cancer.

 

The risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm (ROMA) incorporates cancer antigen 125 (CA125), human epididymal protein 4 (HE4), and menopausal status to assign women that present with an adnexal mass into a high-risk or low-risk group for finding an ovarian malignancy. ROMA is indicated for women who meet the following criteria: older than age 18, presenting with an adnexal mass for which surgery is planned, and who have not yet been referred to an oncologist. ROMA must be interpreted in conjunction with clinical and radiological assessment

Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Only orderable as part of a profile. For more information see ROMA / Ovarian Malignancy Risk Algorithm.

 

Premenopausal:<1.14 (low risk)

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results

In premenopausal women, a risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm (ROMA) value of 1.14 or greater indicates a high risk of finding epithelial ovarian cancer, whereas a ROMA value less than 1.14 indicates a low risk of finding epithelial ovarian cancer at surgery.

 

The use of these cutpoints provides a 75% specificity and sensitivity of 84% in patients with stage I-IV epithelial ovarian cancer.

Cautions

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.

Monday through Friday

Report Available
The interval of time (receipt of sample at Mayo Clinic Laboratories to results available) taking into account standard setup days and weekends. The first day is the time that it typically takes for a result to be available. The last day is the time it might take, accounting for any necessary repeated testing.
