OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify prognostic factors and markers that influence clinical outcomes in patients with primary fallopian tube carcinoma at a single tertiary health care center. These prognostic factors may be of clinical importance and can subsequently be included in future clinical trials. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review of our Tumor Registry and Gynecologic Oncology database was conducted to include any patients with a diagnosis of fallopian tube carcinoma between the years 1994 and 2005. We identified clinicopathological data to evaluate factors important in recurrence, disease-specific and overall survival. Kaplan-Meier curves were generated, and …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the prognostic significance of a pretreatment serum CA 125 value in patients who were diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the cervix. STUDY DESIGN: All patients who were diagnosed with adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous carcinoma of the cervix and treated definitively between 1986 and 1998 were eligible. The relationship between pretreatment serum CA 125 values and various clinical factors was evaluated. RESULTS: Seventy-three patients had pretreatment CA 125 drawn, with values that ranged from 5 to 683 U/mL and all patients were included in this study. A CA 125 value of >or=30 U/mL was …
