Prognostic Significance of the Tumor-Stroma Ratio in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
Tumor-stroma ratio (TSR) has recently been identified as a promising prognostic parameter for several solid tumors. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic role of TSR in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and 838 EOC patients were enrolled in this study. TSR was estimated on hematoxylin-and-eosin-stained tissue sections from the most invasive part of the primary tumor. Patients were classifie...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of tumour stroma ratio in inflammatory breast cancer
Tumour stroma ratio (TSR) is emerging as an important prognostic indicator in cancer. We have previously shown TSR to be prognostic in oestrogen receptor positive breast cancer. Its role in inflammatory breast cancer, a rare but aggressive form of breast cancer, has not been identified. Here we aimed to determine the prognostic significance of TSR in a cohort of patients with inflammatory breas...
متن کاملPrognostic Significance of Lymphovascular Space Invasion in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
OBJECT To assess the effects of lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) on cancer recurrence and survival in patients with primary epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted of patients with stage I-IV primary epithelial ovarian cancer who underwent cytoreductive surgery. LVSI is defined as the presence of tumor cells within an endothelium-lined space, and the patient...
متن کاملPrognostic role of the ratio between cyclooxygenase-2 in tumor and stroma compartments in cervical cancer.
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical role of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in a large series of 175 cervical cancer patients. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Immunohistochemistry was performed on paraffin-embedded sections by using rabbit antiserum against COX-2. The tumor:stroma (T/S) ratio of COX-2 expression was used to define the overall COX-2 content in the tumor. RESULTS The T/S COX...
متن کاملThe prognostic significance of angiogenesis in epithelial ovarian carcinoma.
The molecular biology underlying the metastatic process in ovarian carcinoma remains poorly understood. For other neoplasms, the induction of angiogenesis by malignant cells has been shown to play a pivotal role in the process of tumor proliferation and metastasis. The purpose of this study was to characterize the degree of angiogenesis in epithelial ovarian malignancies and to determine whethe...
