متن کاملSerum CA 125 and ovarian cancer
of death from gynaecological cancer among women in Western countries. Epithelial ovarian cancer is responsible for 85-90% of all primary ovarian tumours. Because of the asymptomatic nature of the disease, ovarian cancer is usually not detected in the early stages and therefore many women present with advanced disease and systemic metastases. Approximately 70-80% of patients present with late st...
متن کاملA longitudinal analysis with CA-125 to predict overall survival in patients with ovarian cancer
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to explore the association of longitudinal CA-125 measurements with overall survival (OS) time by developing a flexible model for patient-specific CA-125 profiles, and to provide a simple and reliable prediction of OS. METHODS A retrospective study was performed on 275 patients with ovarian cancer who underwent at least one cycle of primary chemothera...
متن کاملPrognostic value of CA 125 in ovarian cyst fluid of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer.
Most ovarian tumors contain ovarian cyst fluid (oCF) which can be easily obtained during surgery. This is the first study that explored if CA 125 in oCF could be of prognostic value for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Of 54 patients with primary EOC, oCF and preoperative serum were collected and clinicopathological data were retrospectively obtained. CA 125 was measured with the ...
