Endometrial Neoplasms (Endometrial Cancer) 04/01/1994 - "The OVX1 antigen deserves further evaluation as a marker for early detection of endometrial cancers and as a prognostic factor for women with apparent early stage disease." 04/01/1994 - "Elevated levels of OVX1 antigen (> 7.2 U/ml) were found in 5% of 184 healthy persons and in 64% of 45 patients with endometrial cancer. " 04/01/1994 - "OVX1 antigen was elevated in 64% of 36 patients with Stage I, 50% of 2 patients with Stage II, 60% of 5 patients with Stage III, and each of 2 patients with Stage IV endometrial cancer, but only 8.6% of 58 patients with endometriosis.

Ovarian Neoplasms (Ovarian Cancer) 08/01/1993 - "Among sera from these ovarian cancer patients, OVX1 was elevated in 68% of 76 samples with CA-125 levels more than 35 U/mL and in 76% of 17 samples with CA-125 levels less than 35 U/mL. In serum samples obtained at the time of positive second-look laparotomy, 59% of 41 patients with CA-125 levels less than 35 U/mL had elevated OVX1 antigen levels, whereas 41% of 22 patients with CA-125 levels more than 35 U/mL had elevated serum OVX1 levels.
