Recurrence monitoring for ovarian cancer using a cell phone-integrated paper device to measure the ovarian cancer biomarker HE4/CRE ratio in urine

Abstract Ovarian cancer has a poor cure rate and rates of relapse are high. Current recurrence detection is limited by non-specific methods such as blood testing and ultrasound. Based on reports that human epididymis four (HE4) / creatinine (CRE) ratios found in urine are elevated in ovarian cancers...
