A new prognostic index model using meta-analysis in early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer

TNFAIP8 as a predictor of metastasis and a novel prognostic biomarker in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer

“…Indeed, FIGO stage in EOCs is pivotal for survival (Park et al , 2012) with that the 5-year survival rate of early-stage EOC varies from 50 to 85% (Richardson et al , 1985). By performing a stage-stratified analysis, we demonstrated that TNFAIP8 overexpression may be a prognostic indicator for advanced EOC.…”

Diffusion-weighted MRI of epithelial ovarian cancers: Correlation of apparent diffusion coefficient values with histologic grade and surgical stage

“…outcome of treatment [1]. Although the strongest independent prognostic factor is the absence of residual tumor after primary surgery [2], the surgical stage and the histologic grade of the tumor, are important prognostic factors in determining the survival [3,4]. The stage of an epithelial ovarian cancer is classified according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system, and the histologic grade of the tumor (G1 = well-differentiated, G2 = moderatelydifferentiated, G3 = poorly-differentiated) is determined either by the pattern of differentiation or by the extent of cellular anaplasia as well as the proportion of undifferentiated cells either according to the FIGO system or the World Health Organization (WHO) system [5].…”

Comparison between types I and II epithelial ovarian cancer using histogram analysis of monoexponential, biexponential, and stretched‐exponential diffusion models

“…Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy, the majority of which are of epithelial origin . Researchers have reported that the pathological grade of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a significant prognostic factor in the assessment of survival . Traditionally, EOC has been graded into three levels: well, moderately, and poorly differentiated.…”
