Conclusion One can conclude that serum procathepsin B and endogenous inhibitors of cysteine proteases cystatin B are prospective tumor biomarkers in reproductive system tumors. Procathepsin B and cystatin B seem to be important in differential diagnosis of ovarian cancer and benign ovarian tumors. Procathepsin B and cystatin B are involved in breast and endometrial cancer that warrants further investigation of their role in cancer.
