What does it detect?
Furthermore, the HE4 protein is located in the epithelial cells of the human distal epididymis and is directly connected to fertility. It was later found that HE4 is expressed in reduced amounts in the normal epithelium of specific tissues: the reproductive tract (including the ovary). The HE4 protein is detected in large amounts in the serum of patients with ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is a significant health problem for women, with high morbidity and mortality.
Why get one?
A high level of a specific tumour marker can indicate a certain type of cancer. It helps the oncologist decide what treatment or combination will work best for a specific type of cancer and evaluate how well the treatment worked. Tumor markers are also GPs’ screening tools. They detect a specific type of cancer in high-risk people before they show signs or symptoms.

How does it work?
To schedule your Ovarian Cancer Sensitivity Tumour test near me, make an appointment online and visit us on-site to have your blood drawn by our registered nurse. Please note that you must present your ID for your appointment.
How long do the results take?
Lastly, the target turnaround time for the results is one working day. The turnaround time is a guide only and sometimes depends on assay run schedules.
However, missed appointments or cancellations less than 24 hours prior are not entitled to refunds. Rescheduling is possible but not guaranteed. Please get in touch with customer service before the appointment time to discuss cost and availability options.
However, sample management starts at the clinic. Clinics are the best places to take a sample, so you don’t need to worry about transporting your sample via Royal Mail.
Make sure you drink plenty of water before you visit the clinic. And be calm when you arrive. Please note that we do not draw blood from children under 16 years old.
Scientific Data from Instrument and Reagent Supplier
Testing Technology Method:
Fluorescence quantitative immunoassay
Limit of Detection:
Less than or equal to 50.00 pmol/L.
Accuracy and Precision:
The relative standard deviation from the target value is ≤ 15%. The within assay CV is ≤ 15%. The between assay CV is ≤ 15%.
Measuring Range:
50.00~1000.00 pmol/L
Validation-Active Information:
- EQA: Yes
- Inter-laboratory validations
- Periodic according to the validation schedule
- Event-triggered- Qc/Calibration/New materials/Batch
Accuracy and Precision:
The accuracy of these tests is based on the relative deviation. The relative deviation is the average deviation from the actual result value.
The precision relies on the within-assay coefficient of variations and the between-assay coefficient. The within-assay coefficient of variations is the variance of the result value if the same test is analysed again. The between-assay coefficient is the variance of the result value if the same sample is reprocessed from the beginning again.
In range results:
The reference range for healthy females and males is less than 140 pmol/L.
Out-of-range results:
Any result greater than the reference range would be considered abnormal. Those with elevated levels of HE4 may be at risk for ovarian cancer or other types of cancer.
