Sažetak
During the eighteen-year period in »Sestre milosrdnice« University Hospital Center, Zagreb, 271 women with ovarian
tumor was studied. 229 women with ovarian cancer and 42 with borderline tumor. The pathohistological types of tumors
were different. The age of the patients ranged from 20–83 years. In all patients the value of biochemical marker CA125
was determined. The aim of this study was to determine the usefulness of CA125 measurement in different age groups
and in different patohistologycal forms of tumor. CA125 has proven to be positive in 89.1% of women with ovarian cancer
and in 62% with neoplasm of low malignant potential. The higher values of CA125 were detected in younger women with
lowmalignant tumor potential. Serous and metastatic tumor types were also associated with higher values of CA125.
