Abstract

To establish the diagnostic accuracy of CA-125 levels with ultrasonography to predict ovarian cancer in patients of the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Specialty Hospital during 2015-2016. Methodology: An observational, quantitative, analytical, retrospective and cross-sectional study, which included 322
patients from the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo specialty hospital during the period from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2016. Descriptive statistics were used. inferential, in addition to the statistical software SPSS version 21 for statistical processing. Results: The average age was 53.77 years with (SD + - 15.2),
the average age group of adults (41-60 years) was the highest proportion with 46.3%. The most common ultrasonographic findings were: adnexal mass (48.1%), mass> 4 cm (22.2%), anechoic image (18%) and liquid content image (15.5%). It is concluded that the determination of CA125 is a good test to predict
ovarian cancer, due to its specificity of 55.75% and sensitivity of 91.38%, while ultrasonography findings due to its low sensitivity and specificity are not considered an adequate test to predict ovarian cancer.

Keywords: Cancer ovary, Ca-125, ultrasonography.
