Prognostic factors for ovarian metastases in colorectal cancer patients.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of this study was to analyze prognostic factors for ovarian metastases (OM) in colorectal cancer (CRC) using data from a Chinese center. In addition, the study aimed at developing a new clinical scoring system for prognosis of OM of CRC patients after surgery.

Patients and methods

Data of CRC patients with OM were collected from a single Chinese institution (n = 67). Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate cumulative survival of patients. Factors associated with prognosis of overall survival (OS) were explored using Cox's proportional hazard regression models. A scoring system to determine effectiveness of prognosis was developed.

Results

Median OS values for patients with or without surgery were 22 and 7 months, respectively. Size of OM, number of
