Prognostic factor analysis and treatment results of ovarian cancer in Japan.
Prognostic factors were analyzed among women with ovarian cancer. Stage, histologic subtype and grade, age, performance status, residual tumor size, and platinum-based chemotherapy were factors that significantly influenced the survival rate. Based on these findings, we performed maximal cytoreductive surgery and gave dose-intensified platinum-based chemotherapy to patients with advanced disease and were able to improve survival rate significantly.
