## Effect of Obesity on Survival in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer I n a recent report in Cancer, Pavelka et al described a provocative association between obesity and inferior survival in patients with stage III/IV ovarian cancer. 1 Although the authors acknowledged the limitations of their retrospect
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Epidemiologic studies suggest that obese women are more likely to die of ovarian cancer than those of ideal body weight, but it is not known whether increased incidence, comorbidities common to obese women, or altered tumor biology is responsible for this difference. The
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
