The AgNORs count in predicting long-term survival in serous ovarian cancer
INTRODUCTION The value of argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs) to predict survival in patients with ovarian cancer has not been clearly explained yet. The aim of study was to assess the value of analysis of the mean number of AgNORs per nucleus (mAgNOR) and mean percentage of nuclei with five or more AgNORs per nucleus (pAgNOR) in the prediction of disease-free survival (DFS) and o...
متن کاملAgNORs count correlates better than grading with the effect of chemotherapy in serous ovarian cancer.
OBJECTIVE to evaluate the relationship between AgNORs count as well as tumor grade and the effect of chemotherapy in serous ovarian cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS 39 women who underwent surgical procedure and then chemotherapy due to serous ovarian cancer were included into the study. In cancer cells the mean number of AgNORs per nucleus (mAgNOR) and the mean percentage of nuclei with five or m...
متن کاملThe Role of Long Non-Coding RNAs in Ovarian Cancer
Background: Ovarian cancer is the most fatal tumor of female's reproductive system, and several genetics and environmental factors are involved in its development. Various studies have already identified suitable biomarkers to facilitate the early detection, prognosis evaluation, and the assessment of treatment response. However, the aim of this review was to investigate the role of long non-co...
متن کاملGene Expression Profile for Predicting Survival in Advanced-Stage Serous Ovarian Cancer Across Two Independent Datasets
BACKGROUND Advanced-stage ovarian cancer patients are generally treated with platinum/taxane-based chemotherapy after primary debulking surgery. However, there is a wide range of outcomes for individual patients. Therefore, the clinicopathological factors alone are insufficient for predicting prognosis. Our aim is to identify a progression-free survival (PFS)-related molecular profile for predi...
متن کاملE-cadherin and Cyclooxygenase Enzymes in Predicting Survival of Serous Ovarian Cancer Patients
Studies have shown that cyclooxygenase (Cox) enzymes and E-cadherin have roles in ovarian cancer like many other cancers (Ali-Fehmi et al., 2005; Zahou et al., 2007). E-cadherin is expressed in epithelial cells and participates their differentiated functions and intercellular adhesion. Reduction or loss of E-cadherin expression represents transition from epithelial to mesothelial characteristic...
