The HE4 test measures the amount of human epididymis protein 4 in the blood. Significantly elevated concentrations of HE4 are frequently present in the blood of a woman who has epithelial ovarian cancer.
HE4 was more sensitive in detecting early stages of ovarian cancer and more specific. HE4 improves the utility of CA125 as a tumor marker in ovarian cancer, and using both markers simultaneously increases the tumor marker sensitivity.
