Abstract
Aim-To determine if either DNA index or p62(c-myc) is an independent p rognostic variable in ovarian cancer. Methods-Multivariate and univari ate analyses of the relation between DNA index, p(62c-myc), FIGO stage , histological type, tumour grade, completeness of surgery, and patien t survival in ovarian cancer were examined. Results-Multivariate analy sis showed significant association of survival only with stage and gra de. There was no relation between survival and DNA index. Conclusions- DNA index is not an independent prognostic variable in ovarian cancer.
