HUMAN EPIDIDYMIS PROTEIN 4
What does HUMAN EPIDIDYMIS PROTEIN 4 measure?
This test measures human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), a biomarker that may be used alongside clinical evaluation and other tests when assessing an ovarian or pelvic mass. It may also help monitor certain ovarian cancers over time or support evaluation of response to treatment. HE4 levels can be affected by conditions other than cancer, so results are interpreted by a healthcare professional in the context of medical history and other findings.
