Prognostic and predictive significance of CA-125 elimination rate constant K (KELIM) in ovarian cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in a real-world setting.
Abstract:e17594 Background: CA-125 ELIMination Rate Constant K (KELIM) is considered a marker of chemosensitivity in ovarian cancer patients and its prognostic and predictive significance in Neo-adjuvant Chemotherapy (NACT) treated patients has been established through prospective trials. Limited data exist regarding the feasibility of its application in the real-world setting. Under this perspective, we undertook a retrospective study of the predictive and prognostic significance of KELIM in ovarian cancer patients t… Show more
