Screening and Identification of Novel Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers on Ovarian Cancers

Methods:

All of the patients received four to six courses of adjuvant platinum-containing
chemotherapy. Histologic grading was according to International Union against Cancer
criteria (28). The stage of disease was classified according to the International Federation
of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO, 1987). Pelvic and paraaortic lymph node samplings will
be performed, if the disease will be confined to within the ovary or will be without a
ruptured capsule. The histopathologic data, including histologic type and histologic grade,
will be evaluated by a certified pathologist. The maximal diameter of the residual tumor
after surgery will be also recorded. All patients will be followed up at 3-month intervals.
