Objective
Ten percent of ovarian cancer is attributed to hereditary syndromes, most commonly to mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes. These cancers are characterized by a prolonged sensitivity to platinum agents in spite of presentation at advanced stages. We hypothesized that women with BRCA-associated ovarian cancer would also show a high response rate to pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil).Methods
A retrospective cohort study was conducted to compare the response rate, progression-free, and overall survival among women with BRCA-associated or sporadic ovarian cancer who were treated with Doxil.Results
A response to Doxil was seen in 13 of 23 patients with BRCA mutations (56.5%; 3 by RECIST criteria and 10 by CA125 levels) compared with only 8 of 41 women with non-hereditary cancers (19.5%; 2 by RECIST criteria and 6 by CA125 levels; p = 0.004). This was associated with an improved progression-free and overall survival as measured from the time of Doxil administration. Notably, platinum sensitivity did not directly correlate with a response to Doxil.Conclusions
Women with BRCA-associated ovarian tumors demonstrate a greater sensitivity to cytotoxic therapy with Doxil than has previously been reported in unselected cases. 相似文献2.

Objective
BRCA-associated and sporadic ovarian cancers have different pathologic and clinical features. Our goal was to determine if BRCA mutation status is an independent predictor of residual tumor volume following primary surgical cytoreduction.Methods
We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with FIGO stage IIIC-IV high-grade serous ovarian cancer classified for the presence or absence of germline BRCA mutations. The primary outcome was tumor-debulking status categorized as complete gross resection (0 mm), optimal but visible disease (1-10 mm), or suboptimal debulking (> 10 mm) following primary surgical cytoreduction. Overall survival by residual tumor size and BRCA status was also assessed as a secondary endpoint.Results
Data from 367 patients (69 BRCA mutated, 298 BRCA wild-type) were analyzed. Rate of optimal tumor debulking (0-10 mm) in BRCA wild-type and BRCA-mutated patients were 70.1% and 84.1%, respectively (P = 0.02). On univariate analysis, increasing age (10-year OR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.07-1.65; P = 0.01) and wild-type BRCA status (OR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.23-0.94, P = 0.03) were both significantly associated with suboptimal surgical outcome. On multivariate analysis, BRCA mutation status was no longer associated with residual tumor volume (OR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.31-1.29; P = 0.21) while age remained a borderline significant predictor (10-year OR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.01-1.56; P = 0.05). Both smaller residual tumor volume and mutant BRCA status were significantly associated with improved overall survival.Conclusion
BRCA mutation status is not associated with the rate of optimal tumor debulking at primary surgery after accounting for differences in patient age. Improved survival of BRCA carriers is unlikely the result of better surgical outcomes but instead intrinsic tumor biology. 相似文献3.

Objective
The contribution of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations to ovarian cancer in Colombia has not yet been explored. Five founder mutations have been identified in two previous studies of breast cancer patients in the Bogota region [1,2]. It is important that the frequency of mutations be established among unselected cases of ovarian cancer in order to estimate the genetic burden of this cancer in Colombia and to plan genetic and preventive services.Methods
We enrolled 100 unselected women with ovarian cancer from the Bogota region, and from northern and southern central regions of Colombia. A detailed family history was obtained from each patient and a blood sample was processed for DNA analysis. DNA quality was adequate for BRCA testing for 96 women. Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 were sought using a Hispanic BRCA mutation testing panel. All mutations were confirmed by direct sequencing.Results
Fifteen mutations were identified (two in BRCA2 and thirteen in BRCA1) representing 15.6% of the total (95% CI: 7.8% to 21.3%). Among the 15 mutation-positive families there were nine breast-ovarian cancer families, one gastric cancer family, one prostate cancer family, three uterine cancer families, and one family with no history of cancer. A single founder mutation in BRCA1 (3450del4) was seen in 11 patients.Conclusion
In summary, BRCA1 founder mutations are common in Colombian women with ovarian cancer. Approximately 11.5% of all ovarian cancer cases in the Bogota region are attributable to a single BRCA1 founder mutation. 相似文献4.

Objectives
Protein kinase C (PKC) activation contributes to proliferation and angiogenesis in epithelial ovarian or primary peritoneal carcinoma (EOC/PPC). A multi-institutional phase II trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PKCβ inhibitor enzastaurin in persistent or recurrent EOC/PPC and to explore potential prognostic and predictive biomarkers.Methods
Eligible women with measurable platinum-sensitive and resistant EOC/PPC were treated with continuous administration of oral enzastaurin until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. A two-stage sequential design was used to evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) ≥ 6-months, tumor response, and toxicity. Translational studies included sequencing of the TP53, PTEN, PIK3CA and PKCβII genes for somatic mutations, quantitative PCR assays for AKT2 and PTEN copy number alterations, and measurement of circulating VEGF-A plasma levels.Results
Among 27 eligible and evaluable patients, 3 women with PFS ≥ 6-months (11%) and 2 women with partial responses (7%) were observed. One of them achieved a durable response and remains on the study. No grade 4 adverse events were observed. Most common grade 3 adverse events were constitutional (4) and gastrointestinal (3). Mutations in the TP53 gene and abnormal copy number in the PTEN gene were common (56% and 48% of cases, respectively).Conclusions
Enzastaurin was tolerable but had insufficient activity to proceed with the second stage of accrual. However, 1 patient has been progression-free for 44 months. No association between a biomarker and response to enzastaurin has been found. Exploratory analysis suggested an association between survival and PTEN copy number losses. 相似文献5.

Objective
67-kDa laminin receptor (67LR) has been identified as a prognostic biomarker for a variety of human cancers. We investigated the clinical significance of 67LR expression and its functional role in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).Methods
67LR expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 62 patients with EOC. We assessed the correlation of 67LR expression with clinical characteristics. In vitro experiment was performed for 67LR with inhibition using siRNA to evaluate its role in cell survival, apoptosis, and invasion in EOC cells.Results
67LR was predominantly expressed on the cell membrane in the majority of EOC samples (45/62, 73%). 67LR expression was significantly correlated with advanced stage (P = 0.001). Patients with 67LR expression had shorter progression-free survival among all the patients (P = 0.010) and in particular among patients with advanced stages (P = 0.046). When 67LR expression was inhibited by siRNA in EOC cells (HeyA8 and A2780), there was a significant decrease of cell proliferation and invasion as well as increase of apoptosis.Conclusion
These findings suggest that 67LR expression may play an important role in tumor progression into advanced stage with poor prognosis in EOC and down-regulation of 67LR on tumor cells may be a therapeutic target in those patients. 相似文献6.

Objective
There is growing evidence that the BRCA mutation status of women newly diagnosed with ovarian cancer may be used to make treatment recommendations in the future. This qualitative study aimed to assess women's attitudes and experiences toward treatment-focused genetic testing (TFGT).Methods
Women (N = 22) with ovarian cancer who had either (i) advanced disease and had previously had TFGT (n = 12) or (ii) had a recent ovarian cancer diagnosis and were asked about their hypothetical views of TFGT (n = 10), were interviewed in-depth.Results
This study demonstrates that patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer found the concept of TFGT acceptable with the primary motivation for genetic testing being to increase their treatment options. Women reported that there was no decision to make about TFGT, and the advantages of TFGT were perceived to outweigh the disadvantages. Many women described elements of resilience and active coping, in the context of hypothetical and actual TFGT.Conclusions
Resilience and active coping strategies are important factors that warrant investigation as potential moderators of psychological distress in future prospective studies exploring the optimal way of offering BRCA genetic testing to women newly diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and to assess the impact of TFGT upon patients' survival, psychological distress, and quality of life. 相似文献8.
Objective
There are few validated relapse prediction biomarkers for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We have shown progranulin (PGRN) and secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) are up regulated, overexpressed survival factors in EOC. We hypothesized they would predict presence of occult EOC.Method
PGRN, SLPI, and the known biomarker HE4 were measured in EOC patient plasma samples, prospectively collected every 3 months from initial remission until relapse. Clinical data and CA125 results were incorporated into statistical analyses. Exploratory Kaplan-Meier estimates, dividing markers at median values, evaluated association with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Area-under-the-curve (AUC) statistics were computed from receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to evaluate discrimination ability. A Cox proportional hazards model assessed the association between PFS, OS, and biomarkers, adjusting for clinical prognostic factors.Results
Samples from 23 advanced stage EOC patients were evaluated. PGRN at 3 months was the only biomarker independently associated with PFS (P < 0.0001) and OS (P < 0.003). When used to predict progression by 18 months, sensitivity and specificity were 93% and 100%, respectively, with AUC = 0.944. The Cox model hazard ratio for PFS, divided at 59 ng/ml by ROC analysis and adjusted for clinical factors, was 23.5 (95% CI: 2.49-220). Combinations with SLPI, HE4, and/or CA125 did not improve the model.Conclusions
We report pilot data indicating a potential independent association of PGRN on EOC patient PFS and OS. A validation study will be required to confirm this finding and to inform whether PGRN warrants evaluation as a potential screening biomarker. 相似文献9.

Objective
Therapy related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) is a potential late complication of cytotoxic therapy, and it is of particular concern in the treatment of patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) exposed to multiple courses of chemotherapy during the course of their disease. This study examines the incidence, characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients who developed secondary myeloid-type leukemia after a diagnosis of EOC.Methods
National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database was pooled for diagnosis of secondary myeloid leukemia after an initial diagnosis of EOC. This group of patients was compared to patients with de novo AML, and to EOC patients who did not develop secondary myeloid leukemia. Demographic, cytopathological and survival data were recorded. Cox Proportional Hazards model was used to calculate hazard ratios (HR) for developing secondary leukemia and to determine the statistically significant variables impacting survival. Kaplan-Meier estimates of survival were obtained and comparisons between the groups were performed using log-rank test.Results
One hundred and nine myeloid leukemia cases were identified among 63,359 patients with a prior diagnosis of EOC for an overall incidence of 0.17%. The median latency to development of leukemia was 4 years (range 0-27 years). Median survival from the time of secondary leukemia diagnosis was 3 months and significantly worse than the 6 month median survival in patients with de novo AML (p < 0.001). Age at leukemia diagnosis greater than 65 and development of secondary vs. de novo leukemia had a statistically worse prognosis on multivariate analysis (HR of 2.69, 95%CI 2.60-2.78 and 1.81, 95%CI 1.49-2.20 respectively). The development of secondary leukemia was more common with EOC diagnosis made prior to the platinum/taxane era (HR 6.70, 95%CI 3.69-12.18). There was no difference in median survival between EOC patients who developed AML and those who did not.Conclusion
Development of t-AML is a rare but lethal event among EOC patients, and its incidence has decreased significantly since the use of platinum/taxane-based chemotherapy became the standard of care. 相似文献10.

Objective
To determine the risks and benefits of secondary cytoreductive surgery for recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer.Methods
Data were obtained retrospectively for all women with recurrent platinum-sensitive epithelial ovarian cancer who underwent a second debulking operation between 1998 and 2008 at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Survival analysis and comparisons were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test, and Cox multivariate proportional hazards model.Results
Optimal secondary cytoreductive surgery (< 5 mm of residual disease) was achieved in 32 of 40 patients (80%). Nine women (23%) developed major complications. Two variables, residual disease of less than 5 mm vs 5 mm or greater (median 63 months vs 11 months; P = 0.003); and less than 5 vs 5 or more sites of disease relapse (median 63 months vs 22 months; P = 0.009), were independently associated with survival and retained prognostic significance on multivariate analysis.Conclusions
Optimal secondary cytoreductive surgery was associated with a survival advantage and acceptable risks. 相似文献11.

Objective
TP53 K351N mutation is associated with acquired cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer cells following exposure to cisplatin. We investigated the effect of TP53 K351N mutation on outcome in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) who received platinum-based chemotherapy.Methods
We assessed TP53 K351N mutations by allele specific real-time PCR (AS-PCR) and DNA sequencing in tumor samples of 153 patients with stage IIIC/IV EOC. Clinicopathologic and follow-up data were collected by a retrospective chart review.Results
TP53 K351N mutations were detected in 8 (11.27%) of 71 patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy with interval debulking surgery (NACT-IDS) but not in 82 patients who underwent primary debulking surgery (PDS) (P < 0.01). In patients with relapse within 6 months, the relapse rate was 14 (19.72%) of 71 patients for NACT-IDS compared to 15 (18.29%) of 82 patients for PDS (P = 0.49), and TP53 K351N mutation was observed in 8 of NACT-IDS 14 patients (57.14% P < 0.01). In the patients retreated at first recurrence within 6 months, 7 with TP53 K351N mutation of 14 NACT-IDS patients exhibited progression of disease, compared to 2 of PDS 15 patients (50.00% vs. 13.33%, P = 0.04). The median disease-free survival (DFS) for NACT-IDS was 13.0 months compared to 15.0 months for PDS (P = 0.02). In multivariate analysis, TP53 K351N mutation is an independent factor for shorter DFS in the patients who underwent NACT-IDS (HR = 19.05; P = 0.01).Conclusions
TP53 K351N mutation may be associated with induction of platinum resistance after NACT in advanced EOC. 相似文献12.

Objectives
On the basis of reversal of taxane resistance with AKT inhibition, we initiated a phase I trial of the AKT inhibitor perifosine with docetaxel in taxane and platinum-resistant or refractory epithelial ovarian cancer.Methods
Patients with pathologically confirmed high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer (taxane resistant, n = 10; taxane refractory, n = 11) were enrolled. Peripheral blood samples and tumor biopsies were obtained and 18F-FDG-PET and DCE-MRI scans were performed for pharmacodynamic and imaging studies.Results
Patients received a total of 42 treatment cycles. No dose-limiting toxicity was observed. The median progression-free survival and overall survival were 1.9 months and 4.5 months, respectively. One patient with a PTEN mutation achieved a partial remission (PR) for 7.5 months, and another patient with a PIK3CA mutation had stable disease (SD) for 4 months. Two other patients without apparent PI3K pathway aberrations achieved SD. Two patients with KRAS mutations demonstrated rapid progression. Decreased phosphorylated S6 correlated with 18F-FDG-PET responses.Conclusions
Patients tolerated perifosine 150 mg PO daily plus docetaxel at 75 mg/m2 every 4 weeks. Further clinical evaluation of effects of perifosine with docetaxel on biological markers and efficacy in patients with ovarian cancer with defined PI3K pathway mutational status is warranted. 相似文献13.

Objective
Excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) is required for the repair of platinum-induced DNA damage. This study sought to assess the prognostic value of ERCC1 expression, measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using a highly specific antibody, in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.Methods
Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumors were collected from two GOG phase III trials (GOG-172 and GOG-182) of patients with stage III/IV EOC treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. ERCC1 was detected by (IHC) using FL297 polyclonal antibody and tumors were categorized as negative or positive, based on nuclear staining of tumor cells. ERCC1 genotyping was performed as previously reported. Associations between ERCC1 expression and clinical characteristics, platinum responsiveness, progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) were evaluated.Results
Of 408 eligible patients, 27% had tumors that were ERCC1 positive. ERCC1 expression was not associated with clinical characteristics or platinum-responsiveness. Women with ERCC1-positive versus -negative tumors had similar median PFS (17.9 months versus 17.5 months, respectively, p = 0.59), median OS (52.0 months versus 47.0 months, respectively, p = 0.30), risk of disease progression (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 0.90, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.71-1.15, p = 0.41), and risk of death (adjusted HR = 0.81, 95% CI: 0.61-1.07, p = 0.14). ERCC1 expression, as measured by IHC, was not associated with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), in codon 118 and C8092A, of the ERCC1 gene.Conclusions
ERCC1 expression, measured by IHC in pre-treatment tumor specimens, using a highly specific antibody, has limited clinical value in patients with advanced EOC treated with platinum and taxane based chemotherapy. 相似文献14.

Objective
This study computed the risk of clinically silent adnexal neoplasia in women with germ-line BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations (BRCAm +) and determined recurrence risk.Methods
We analyzed risk reduction salpingo-oophorectomies (RRSOs) from 349 BRCAm + women processed by the SEE-FIM protocol and addressed recurrence rates for 29 neoplasms from three institutions.Results
Nineteen neoplasms (5.4%) were identified at one institution, 9.2% of BRCA1 and 3.4% of BRCA2 mutation-positive women. Fourteen had a high-grade tubal intraepithelial neoplasm (HGTIN, 74%). Mean age (54.4) was higher than the BRCAm + cohort without neoplasia (47.8) and frequency increased with age (p < 0.001). Twenty-nine BRCAm + patients with neoplasia from three institutions were followed for a median of 5 years (1–8 years.). One of 11 with HGTIN alone (9%) recurred at 4 years, in contrast to 3 of 18 with invasion or involvement of other sites (16.7%). All but two are currently alive. Among the 29 patients in the three institution cohort, mean ages for HGTIN and advanced disease were 49.2 and 57.7 (p = 0.027).Conclusions
Adnexal neoplasia is present in 5–6% of RRSOs, is more common in women with BRCA1 mutations, and recurs in 9% of women with HGTIN alone. The lag in time from diagnosis of the HGTIN to pelvic recurrence (4 years) and differences in mean age between HGTIN and advanced disease (8.5 years) suggest an interval of several years from the onset of HGTIN until pelvic cancer develops. However, some neoplasms occur in the absence of HGTIN. 相似文献15.

Objective
Thorough primary cytoreduction for epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) improves survival. The incidence of postoperative ileus (POI) in these patients may be underreported because of varying POI definitions and the evolving, increasingly complex contemporary surgical approach to EOC. We sought to determine the current incidence of POI and its risk factors in women undergoing debulking and staging for EOC.Methods
We retrospectively identified the records of women who underwent primary staging and cytoreduction for EOC between 2003 and 2008. POI was defined as a surgeon's diagnosis of POI, return to nothing-by-mouth status, or reinsertion of a nasogastric tube. Perioperative patient characteristics and process-of-care variables were analyzed. Univariate analyses were used to identify POI risk factors; variables with P ≤ .20 were included in multivariate analysis.Results
Among 587 women identified, the overall incidence of POI was 30.3% (25.9% without bowel resection, 38.5% with bowel resection; P = .002). Preoperative thrombocytosis, involvement of bowel mesentery with carcinoma, and perioperative red blood cell transfusion were independently associated with increased POI. Postoperative ibuprofen use was associated with decreased POI risk. Women with POI had a longer length of stay (median, 11 vs 6 days) and increased time to recovery of the upper (7.5 vs 4 days) and lower (4 vs 3 days) gastrointestinal tract (P < .001 for each).Conclusions
The rate of POI is substantial among women undergoing staging and cytoreduction for EOC and is associated with increased length of stay. Modifiable risk factors may include transfusion and postoperative ibuprofen use. Alternative interventions to decrease POI are needed. 相似文献16.

Objective
Women with BRCA-associated ovarian cancer demonstrate excellent responses to Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (PLD). PLD has also been shown to enhance T cell recognition of tumor cells. Here we characterize immunophenotypic changes associated with BRCA1 dysfunction in ovarian cancer cells, and evaluate the T cell contribution to the therapeutic efficacy of PLD in a BRCA1 − ovarian cancer model to determine whether enhanced anti-tumor immunity contributes to the improved response to PLD in BRCA1 − ovarian cancers.Methods
The immunophenotype of BRCA1 − and wild-type (WT) ovarian cancer cells and their response to PLD were compared in vitro using flow cytometry. T cell recruitment to BRCA1 − tumors was evaluated with flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. The contribution of T cell populations to the therapeutic effect of PLD in a BRCA1 − model was evaluated using immunodepleting antibodies with PLD in vivo.Results
The cytotoxic response to PLD was similar in BRCA1 − and WT cells in vitro. BRCA1 − inactivation resulted in higher expression of Fas and MHC-I at baseline and after PLD exposure. PLD prolonged the survival of BRCA1 − tumor bearing mice and increased intratumoral T cell recruitment. CD4 + depletion combined with PLD significantly prolonged overall survival (p = 0.0204) in BRCA1 − tumor-bearing mice.Conclusion
Differences in the immunophenotype of BRCA1 − and WT cells are amplified by PLD exposure. The enhanced immunomodulatory effects of PLD in BRCA1 − tumors may be exploited therapeutically by eliminating suppressive CD4 + T cells. Our results support further study of combination therapy using PLD and immune agents, particularly in women with BRCA gene mutations. 相似文献17.
Objective
This study aims to determine whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has survival benefit in selected patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) who have high risk of suboptimal cytoreduction which is represented by high serum CA-125 level.Methods
We retrospectively reviewed records of 314 patients with EOC including 94 patients who received NAC. After stratification by preoperative CA-125 levels, the progression-free survival (PFS) was compared between the NAC group and the primary debulking surgery (PDS) group.Results
The NAC group had more FIGO stage IV disease (P < 0.001) and higher CA-125 levels (P < 0.001). Although suboptimal resection rate was higher in the PDS group (50% vs. 18%, P < 0.001), however, NAC was not associated with increased PFS in multivariate Cox analysis (P = 0.334). Nevertheless, after stratification according to CA-125 levels, NAC showed survival benefit in the subgroup with high CA-125 levels (> 2000 U/ml; HR 0.62, P = 0.037).Conclusion
Our preliminary data suggests the possible interaction between CA-125 levels and survival benefit of NAC. The randomized trial data about NAC should be stratified by the reproducible and relevant criteria such as preoperative serum CA-125 level to elucidate true survival benefit of NAC in ovarian cancer. 相似文献18.

Objective
About 70% of epithelial ovarian cancer patients (EOC) are diagnosed at advanced stage with a five-year survival rate of only 30%. Whilst CA125 detects peritoneally-spread disease, it has limited sensitivity for early cancers, many of which are potentially curable.Methods
We compared the new commercially available tumor marker HE4 with CA125 individually, in combination, within the risk of malignancy index (RMI) and the newly defined risk of malignancy algorithm (ROMA). Our prospectively-collected cohort of 160 patients consisted of healthy controls, benign diseases, and borderline tumors/adenocarcinomas of ovarian, tubal, peritoneal and endometrial origin. HE4 and CA125 were measured in serum using standardized ELISA.Results
Both markers showed similar diagnostic performance in the detection of EOC at clinically defined thresholds (CA125 35 U/ml; HE4 70 pM) but HE4 was not elevated in endometriosis. Comparison of non-malignant diagnoses (n = 71) versus early stage ovarian and tubal cancers (n = 19) revealed that HE4 and ROMA displayed the best diagnostic performance (AUC 0.86/0.87, specificity 85.9%/87.3% and sensitivity 78.9%/78.9%, respectively). Whilst RMICA125 detects peritoneal cancer better than all other models (AUC 0.99, specificity 97.2%, sensitivity 80.0%), there is no other detection benefit from RMI compared to HE4 alone or included in ROMA.Conclusions
The major advantage of HE4 lies in its specificity and improved detection of borderline tumors and early stage ovarian and tubal cancers. HE4 is superior to CA125 with or without RMI and ROMA indices. However, we see no benefit from combining both markers in clinical practice. 相似文献19.

Objective
To compare the survival outcome between clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and other histological subtypes in epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC).Methods
From January 1974 to February 2011, we identified a total of 31,800 (CCC; 2152, non-CCC; 29648) patients from 12 studies meeting the inclusion criteria.Results
Heterogeneity tests demonstrated significant between-study variation (I2 = 92.1%) with no significant difference in hazard ratio (HR) for death between CCC and non-CCC (HR; 1.16, 95% CI; 0.85-1.57, random-effects model). Comparing the HR based on stage I + II, and stage III + IV, between CCC and non-CCC, showed that CCC patients had a higher hazard rate for death than those with non-CCC of the ovary (stage I + II; HR; 1.17, 95% CI; 1.01-1.36, stage III + IV; HR; 1.65, 95% CI; 1.52-1.79). In a comparison of CCC and serous EOC, advanced stage (III and IV) CCC only showed a poorer hazard rate for death than serous EOC (HR; 1.71, 95% CI; 1.57-1.86).Conclusion
This analysis suggests that ovarian CCC patients had poorer prognosis than those with other histological subtypes of EOC, especially in advanced EOC stages. Different treatment strategies may be needed for patients with ovarian CCC. 相似文献20.
