The control group consisted of 120 healthy women of matched age and reproductive status, in whom serum biomarker levels were studied. Patient survival was assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method, with survival curves compared with log-rank test. All analyses were done with “STATISTICA” and SPSS software. <bold>Results:</bold> Serum VEGF levels in ovarian cancer patients were significantly (p &lt; 0.0001) higher compared those in the control. The most informative cut-off values differentiating the groups studied were serum VEGF values of &lt; 350 pg/ml (median value in the control) and &gt; 505 pg/ml (upper quartile in the control). With 505 pg/ml taken as a threshold, the test had sensitivity of 79.6% and specificity of 75%. Another cut-off value of serum VEGF level between the patients with ovarian cancer and the control group (510 pg/ml) was derived from ROC curves and 75% sensitivity and 78.2% specificity. No acceptable cut-off value for serum IGF1 to differentiate between the patients with ovarian cancer and the controls could be obtained from the ROC curves. Serum MMP7 levels in the patients with ovarian cancer were significantly higher than those in the control group (Mann-Whitney test p &lt; 0.0001). With ROC curves, the best sensitivity to specificity ratio for MMP7 value of 4.6 ng/ml was obtained to differentiate between the patients with ovarian cancer and the controls (sensitivity 83.3%, and specificity 81%). The variance analysis did not reveal any association between serum VEGF, IGF1 and MMP7 and age of patients with ovarian cancer, tumor histology, concomitant somatic and gynecological diseases, and CA-125 levels. Serum VEGF and IGF1 levels did not correlate with the stage of ovarian cancer, in contrast to MMP7, whose levels were significantly higher in stages IIIc–IV. The median VEGF level significantly increased as the degree of differentiation decreased from 510 to 622 pg/ml (p &lt; 0.002), while median IGF1, on the contrary, decreased from 219 to 116 pg/ml (p &lt; 0.0001). There was a direct correlation between serum and tumor VEGF levels in ovarian cancer patients (r = 0.65, p &lt; 0.0001). On the contrary, there was an inverse correlation between serum and tumor IGF1 levels (r = -0.68, p &lt; 0.0001). Serum and tumor MMP7 levels remained unrelated to each other. Tumor VEGF, IGF1 and MMP7 content was unrelated to the age of the patients, their reproductive status, presence of concomitant somatic and gynecological diseases, histology of ovarian cancer, and serum CA-125 levels. VEGF levels in the tumor were not associated with the stage of ovarian cancer, but in patients with initial stages Ia and Ib stages MMP7 values significantly lower (2.1 ng/mg protein) compared to those in stages IIIc and IV (6.1 and 4.7 ng/mg protein, respectively, p &lt; 0.05). Similar pattern was noted for IGF1: tumor IGF1 values in the patients with stages Ia–Ib were significantly lower (0.5 ng/mg protein) than those with stages IIIc–IV (median, 1.3–1.4 ng/mg protein). A significant increase in both serum and tumor VEGF levels was detected in the patients with ovarian cancer with decreased degree of differentiation. On the contrary, tumor IGF1 levels, but not serum ones, were significantly increased from 0.6 to 1.4 ng/ml in the patients with poorly differentiated ovarian cancer. MMP7 tumor expression did not depend on the degree of its differentiation. Serum VEGF levels above 700 pg/ml and tumor levels of above 590 ng/mg protein should be considered as unfavorable prognostic factors in patients with ovarian cancer.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Цель</bold> – провести сравнительный анализ одновременного определения фактора роста эндотелия сосудов (VEGF), инсулиноподобного фактора роста 1-го типа (ИФР-1) и матриксной металлопротеиназы 7-го типа (ММП-7) в сыворотке крови здоровых женщин и больных раком яичников, определить связь этих маркеров с их экспрессией в первичных опухолях с учетом клинических, морфологических и биохимических характеристик заболевания и прогноза. <bold>Материал и методы.</bold> Обследовали 54 нелеченых больных раком яичников в возрасте от 23 до 74 лет (средний возраст 53,2 ± 1,9 года) в различных стадиях опухолевого процесса (по FIGO). Контрольную группу составили 120 здоровых женщин соответствующего возраста и репродуктивного статуса, у которых изучали концентрации маркеров в сыворотке крови. Выживаемость пациенток оценивали по методу Каплана – Мейера, сравнение кривых выживаемости рассчитывали с помощью Log-Rank test. Все вычисления проводили на персональном компьютере с использованием математических пакетов STATISTICA и SPSS. <bold>Результаты.</bold> Уровни VEGF в сыворотке крови больных раком яичников были статистически значимо (р &lt; 0,0001) выше по сравнению с контролем. Наиболее информативными уровнями, разделяющими изучаемые группы, были значения сывороточного VEGF менее 350 пг/мл (медиана показателя в контроле) и более 505 пг/мл (верхняя квартиль показателя в контроле). Чувствительность теста по порогу 505 пг/мл равнялась 79,6%, специфичность 75%. Еще одним разделяющим уровнем сывороточного VEGF в группах больных раком яичников и контроля было значение маркера, полученное с помощью построения кривых ROC и равное 510 пг/мл, его диагностические характеристики составили: чувствительность 75%, специфичность 78,2%. Приемлемого разделяющего уровня сывороточного ИФР-1 в группах больных раком яичников и контроля, полученного с помощью построения кривых ROC, не найдено. Содержание ММП-7 в сыворотке крови больных раком яичников было статистически значимо (критерий Манна – Уитни, р &lt; 0,0001) выше по сравнению с контролем. С помощью построения кривых ROC получено наилучшее соотношение чувствительности и специфичности при разделении групп больных раком яичников и контроля по уровню сывороточного ММП-7, равного 4,6 нг/мл (чувствительность 83,3%, специфичность 81%). Дисперсионный анализ не выявил связи сывороточных показателей VEGF, ИФР-1 и ММП-7 с возрастом больных раком яичников, гистологическим строением опухоли, с сопутствующими соматическими и гинекологическими заболеваниями, с уровнями СА-125. Показатели сывороточного VEGF и ИФР-1 не отражали стадию рака яичников, в отличие от ММП-7, уровни которого были статистически значимо выше при IIIc–IV стадиях. Медиана VEGF повышалась по мере снижения степени дифференцировки с 510 до 622 пг/мл (р &lt; 0,002), а ИФР-1, наоборот, снижалась с 219 до 116 пг/мл (р &lt; 0,0001). Обнаружена прямая корреляционная зависимость между содержанием VEGF в сыворотке крови и опухоли больных раком яичников (r = 0,65; p &lt; 0,0001). Для ИФР-1, напротив, отмечена обратная корреляционная зависимость между уровнем маркера в сыворотке крови и опухоли больных (r = -0,68; p &lt; 0,0001). Уровни ММП-7 в сыворотке крови и опухоли не были связаны между собой. Содержание VEGF, ИФР-1 и ММП-7 в опухоли не было связано с возрастом пациенток, репродуктивным статусом, наличием сопутствующих соматических и гинекологических заболеваний, гистологическим строением рака яичников, уровнями сывороточного СА-125. Уровни VEGF в опухоли не были связаны со стадией рака яичников, однако статистически значимые низкие значения ММП-7 обнаружены у больных с начальными Ia и Ib стадиями (2,1 нг/мг белка) по сравнению с IIIc и IV стадиями (6,1 и 4,7 нг/мг белка соответственно; р &lt; 0,05). Подобная закономерность отмечена и для ИФР-1: установлены статистически значимые низкие значения ИФР-1 в опухоли больных с Ia–Ib стадиями (0,5 нг/мг белка) по сравнению с IIIc–IV стадиями (медиана 1,3–1,4 нг/мг белка). Выявлено значимое повышение VEGF как в сыворотке крови, так и опухоли больных раком яичников при снижении степени дифференцировки. Уровни ИФР-1 в опухоли, в отличие от сыворотки крови, статистически значимо повышались с 0,6 до 1,4 нг/мл у пациенток с низкой степенью дифференцировки рака яичников. Показатели экспрессии ММП-7 в опухоли не зависели от степени ее дифференцировки. Уровни сывороточного VEGF более 700 пг/мл, а в ткани опухоли более 590 нг/мг белка следует считать неблагоприятными факторами прогноза у больных раком яичников.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>ovarian cancer</kwd><kwd>vascular endothelial growth factor</kwd><kwd>insulin-like growth factor 1</kwd><kwd>matrix metalloproteinase 7</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>рак яичников</kwd><kwd>фактор роста эндотелия сосудов</kwd><kwd>инсулиноподобный фактор роста 1</kwd><kwd>матриксная металлопротеиназа 7</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>1.
