✦ Synopsis

BACKGROUND.

Tumor anemia is a common symptom in cancer patients. This study assessed the prognostic relationship of pretreatment serum hemoglobin levels to survival in a retrospective sample of 206 patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma.

METHODS.

Survival analysis was evaluated by univariate (Kaplan-Meier product limit method and log rank test) and multivariate (Cox proportional hazards model) analysis. Mean values were compared by the Kruskal-Wallis test. Serum hemoglobin levels were determined in each patient 24 -48 hours before surgery. Anemia was defined as a serum hemoglobin value below 12 g/dL.
