Glasgow prognostic score is an independent marker for poor prognosis with all cases of epithelial ovarian cancer

open access

Discussion

The known prognostic factors for OC include residual tumor and chemotherapy response [4, 5]. Inflammatory markers such as GPS are important prognostic factors in various cancers. This is the first study to evaluate whether high pretreatment GPS predicts poor prognosis for patients with epithelial OC, including those with early-stage disease.

Study population
This retrospective study reviewed medical records of 216 patients with different stages (stages I–IV) of epithelial OC who were treated at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Okayama University Hospital between January 2002 and July 2015.....
