Abstract
BACKGROUND Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) for ultrasound is a lexicon and risk stratification system that includes all risk categories and relevant management recommendation. It has high sensitivity in diagnosing malignant adnexal tumors, but the specificity is lower. OBJECTIVE To explore the value of O-RADS combined with contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in risk stratification of adnexal masses. METHODS A retrospective study was performed on 85 patients with 100 adnexal masses that preoperatively underwent conventional ultrasound as well as CEUS examination and obtained the postoperative pathological results. The masses were classified into O-RADS2, 3, 4, and 5 by conventional ultrasound. After contrast enhancement, the classification of O-RADS was adjusted according to CEUS imaging features. The O-RADS 2 and 3 lesions with suspected malignant features like irregular blood vessels or internal inhomogeneous hyperenhancement were upgraded to O-RADS 4, and the O-RADS 4 lesions with the above features were upgraded to O-RADS 5. The O-RADS 4 lesions with suspicious benign angiographic features like a regular vessel, interior hypoenhancement or non-enhancement were downgraded to O-RADS 3; the O-RADS 5 lesions with rim ring-enhancement and interior non-enhancement were downgraded to O-RADS 3. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, PPV, NPV, and AUC of the two methods were compared, taking pathological results as the gold standard. RESULTS The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, PPV, NPV, and AUC of O-RADS and O-RADS combined with CEUS in the diagnosis of malignant adnexal tumors were 96.6%, 66.2%, 75.0%, 53.8%, 97.9%, 0.910 and 96.6%, 91.5%, 93.0%, 82.4%, 98.5%, 0.962, respectively. The specificity, accuracy, PPV, and AUC of O-RADS combined with CEUS were considerably higher than those of O-RADS (P < 0.01). Furthermore, both methods had excellent sensitivity and NPV but there were no significant differences between them(P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Combination of O-RADS and CEUS can significantly improve the specificity and PPV in diagnosing malignant adnexal tumors. It seems promising in the clinical application of risk stratification of adnexal masses.

Abstract
Importance Correct diagnosis of ovarian cancer results in better prognosis. Adnexal lesions can be stratified into the Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) risk of malignancy categories with either the O-RADS lexicon, proposed by the American College of Radiology, or the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) 2-step strategy. Objective To investigate the diagnostic performance of the O-RADS lexicon and the IOTA 2-step strategy. Design, Setting, and Participants Retrospective external diagnostic validation study based on interim data of IOTA5, a prospective international multicenter cohort study, in 36 oncology referral centers or other types of centers. A total of 8519 consecutive adult patients presenting with an adnexal mass between January 1, 2012, and March 1, 2015, and treated either with surgery or conservatively were included in this diagnostic study. Twenty-five patients were excluded for withdrawal of consent, 2777 were excluded from 19 centers that did not meet predefined data quality criteria, and 812 were excluded because they were already in follow-up at recruitment. The analysis included 4905 patients with a newly detected adnexal mass in 17 centers that met predefined data quality criteria. Data were analyzed from January 31 to March 1, 2022. Exposures Stratification into O-RADS categories (malignancy risk <1%, 1% to <10%, 10% to <50%, and ≥50%). For the IOTA 2-step strategy, the stratification is based on the individual risk of malignancy calculated with the IOTA 2-step strategy. Main Outcomes and Measures Observed prevalence of malignancy in each O-RADS risk category, as well as sensitivity and specificity. The reference standard was the status of the tumor at inclusion, determined by histology or clinical and ultrasonographic follow-up for 1 year. Multiple imputation was used for uncertain outcomes owing to inconclusive follow-up information. Results Median age of the 4905 patients was 48 years (IQR, 36-62 years). Data on race and ethnicity were not collected. A total of 3441 tumors (70%) were benign, 978 (20%) were malignant, and 486 (10%) had uncertain classification. Using the O-RADS lexicon resulted in 1.1% (24 of 2196) observed prevalence of malignancy in O-RADS 2, 4% (34 of 857) in O-RADS 3, 27% (246 of 904) in O-RADS 4, and 78% (732 of 939) in O-RADS 5; the corresponding results for the IOTA 2-step strategy were 0.9% (18 of 1984), 4% (58 of 1304), 30% (206 of 690), and 82% (756 of 927). At the 10% risk threshold (O-RADS 4-5), the O-RADS lexicon had 92% sensitivity (95% CI, 87%-96%) and 80% specificity (95% CI, 74%-85%), and the IOTA 2-step strategy had 91% sensitivity (95% CI, 84%-95%) and 85% specificity (95% CI, 80%-88%). Conclusions and Relevance The findings of this external diagnostic validation study suggest that both the O-RADS lexicon and the IOTA 2-step strategy can be used to stratify patients into risk groups. However, the observed malignancy rate in O-RADS 2 was not clearly below 1%.

J Obstet Gynaecol Res 2022; 48:2442-2451. [PMID: 35778814 DOI: 10.1111/jog.15345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2022] [Revised: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 06/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), CA19-9, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), and the Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA) are widely used as tumor markers and algorithms for the diagnosis of ovarian cancer (OC). Tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 (TFPI2) has been developed as a potential serodiagnostic marker for OC in Japan. The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the six markers alone and in combination to find the best marker for discriminating between benign and malignant ovarian tumors. METHODS Frozen serum samples collected from 484 patients were divided into three groups based on histopathological results: OC (n = 119), borderline ovarian tumors (BR) (n = 48), and benign ovarian tumors (BN) (n = 317). Diagnostic accuracy was calculated with an area under a receiver operating characteristic (AUC) curve. RESULTS TFPI2 achieved the highest discrimination between the OC + BR group versus the BN group (AUC 0.8076). ROMA values best discriminated patients with OC from those with BN (AUC, 0.8966), which was equivalent to TFPI2 (AUC, 0.8937). For discriminating the OC group from the BR + BN group, the highest AUC value was achieved by ROMA values (AUC, 0.8884), and TFPI2 also showed comparable diagnostic accuracy (AUC, 0.8845). Combining TFPI2 with ROMA had the highest AUC (0.8420-0.9357). CONCLUSION TFPI2 may be a clinically useful single marker comparable to conventional ROMA values for discriminating between benign and malignant ovarian tumors.
