Pretreatment lymphocytopenia is an adverse prognostic biomarker in advanced-stage ovarian cancer
Cancer Medicine Jan 22, 2019
Lee YJ, et al. - The prognostic significance of lymphocytopenia in advanced-stage ovarian cancer was assessed by performing a retrospective review of 506 patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer at Yonsei Cancer Hospital. Researchers included a neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) group (N = 247) and a primary debulking surgery (PDS) group (N = 259).

Patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer displayed adverse prognosis in independent relation to pretreatment lymphocytopenia.
