Purpose of the Test
- Assess the likelihood of ovarian cancer in women with a pelvic mass.

- Assist in referring patients to specialized gynecologic oncology teams.
The ROMA Index is an advanced assessment combining HE4 and CA-125 levels with menopausal status to accurately estimate the risk of ovarian malignancy, ensuring timely diagnosis and intervention.
Scientific name: Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA Index)
A laboratory test measuring HE4 and CA-125 to estimate ovarian cancer risk. It provides superior accuracy compared to single markers for assessing pelvic masses in pre and postmenopausal women.
