Background. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine that can be produced by human ovarian cancer cells. Elevated IL-6 levels have been found in the serum and ascites of patients with ovarian cancer, but its role in this disease has not been clearly established. Methods. The authors studi
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. The purpose was to identify the factors predictive of recurrence and survival in patients with highβrisk (stage I, grade 3; stage IC, stage II, or clear cell) epithelial ovarian cancer after adjuvant therapy. ## METHODS. Data was extracted from patients who underwent p
High levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in tissue extracts have been associated with poor prognosis in many epithelial cancers. Ovarian cancers contain a higher concentration of PAI-1 than benign ovarian tumors or normal ovaries. Reports, however, on the prognostic value of PAI-1 co
## Background: The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic significance of preoperative serum inhibin and activin levels in postmenopausal women with epithelial ovarian carcinoma (eoc) by correlating serum levels with disease parameters, including tumor stage and grade and patient age. #
In ovarian cancer cells, the macrophage colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) induces the release of plasminogen activator inhibitor-2 (PAI-2), and high levels of PAI-2 as well as of CSF-1 in ovarian cancer ascites are independently correlated with poor outcome. We now study the effect of CSF-1 on PAI
