Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) is a new biomarker for the detection of ovarian cancer. We evaluated the analytical performance of a novel automated HE4 assay and established reference ranges of HE4 and CA125. We also compared the diagnostic performance of both biomarkers for ovarian cancer. Precision performances and linearity of the HE4 assay were assessed. Serum samples from 2,182 healthy and 72 pregnant women were also assayed for HE4 and CA125, and the 95%, 97.5% and 99% reference limits for both markers were calculated. Additionally, sera from 66 ovarian cancer and 257 benign gynecologic disease patients were tested to validate reference ranges and diagnostic performances. The total precision of the HE4 assay was
