Abstract
Endometrial cancer is currently the prevalent malignant cancer worldwide. Diagnostic efficiency of tumor markers is limited, and coagulation function indicators in endometrial cancer are less concerned. This study attempted to evaluate the effects of coagulation function indicators and tumor markers on the clinical diagnosis and clinicopathological characteristics of patients with endometrial cancer. The retrospective analysis compared the differences in coagulation function indicators and tumor markers among 175 patients with endometrial cancer and 170 healthy women from January 2020 to October 2022. Compared to the healthy control, the levels of D-dimer, fibrinogen, human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), CA153, and CA199 in patients with endometrial cancer were significantly higher (P < 0.05). Univariate and multivariate regression analyses revealed that abnormal levels of D-dimer, fibrinogen, HE4, CA125, CA153, and CA199 were related risk factors affecting the incidence of endometrial cancer. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis exhibited that the area under the curve (0.931) and accuracy (85.2%) of combined diagnosis of coagulation function indicators (D-dimer, fibrinogen) and tumor markers (HE4, CA125, CA153, CA199) were the highest, and its sensitivity (82.3%) and specificity (88.2%) were higher than any single or combined indicators of four tumor markers. Moreover, relative expression levels of the combined indicators were significantly different among clinicopathological characteristics that had the highest predictive value in the FIGO stage (P < 0.001). D-dimer and fibrinogen represent potential diagnostic factors for endometrial cancer. The combination of coagulation function indicators and tumor markers exhibited high diagnostic value in endometrial cancer, as well as predictive value for clinicopathological characteristics.
