Survival Analysis in patiEnts With Bad Prognosis Epithelial Ovarian CArcinoma

Summary

Ovarian carcinoma is the most lethal gynecological malignancy. Epithelial ovarian carcinoma is the gynecological malignancy with the highest mortality rate. The prognosis of patients with recurrent disease is highly heterogeneous and is typically poor in cases of ovarian carcinoma with a progression-free survival (PFS) ≤ 6 months, for which therapeutic options are limited. However, it has been shown that patients with a PFS ≤ 6 months may not respond effectively to further treatments, whereas, conversely, patients with a PFS \> 6 months could still benefit from them. The classification of patients with recurrent disease has undergone continuous evolution over time. Essential factors to consider include patient characteristics, disease stage, and the precise genetic and molecular profile of the tumor. This study aims to evaluate survival in patients experiencing recurrence of epithelial ovarian carcinoma with an unfavorable prognosis, with the objective of improving patient categorization and management.
