HE4 + ROMA (Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm)

HE4 is a tumour marker. ROMA combines HE4 + CA-125 + menopausal status to estimate cancer risk

• Higher specificity than CA-125 alone
• Fewer false positives in benign gynaecologic conditions
• More helpful in premenopausal women
• Better at distinguishing benign vs malignant masses

ROMA is a qualitative serum test. CA 125 is a marker for ovarian cancer and ROMA looks at the CA125 score and the HE4 test score plus a woman’s menopausal status to check for pre- and post-menopausal risk of cancer and malignant disease from ovarian cancer.

This combined HE4 + ROMA test is more expensive than CA 125 on its own as it significantly raises the sensitivity when detecting ovarian cancers.

By using both the CA125 and HE4 results, ROMA (A risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm) is calculated to show whether you are at high or low risk.

This test is not an ovarian cancer screen on its own and must not be seen as one. If you are worried about ovarian cancer, you should book a scan and consultation with MUMS Consultant Gynaecologists and discuss this test.

CA 125

CA125 is not an ovarian cancer screen on its own and must not be seen as one. If you are worried about ovarian cancer, you should book a scan and consultation with MUMS Consultant Gynaecologists and discuss this test and other ovarian cancer testing.

CA 125 looks at the amount of CA 125 protein in your blood. 125 is a Cancer Antigen. CA 125 is widely used to look for early signs of ovarian cancer in women who are at high risk.

Other conditions can increase CA 125 levels. For example, fibroids can mean the CA 125 is raised as can menstruation.

If you have symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full very quickly or even needing to urinate more quickly and you have a family history of ovarian cancer – you should seek early reassurance and get tested for ovarian cancer.
