Project description:A set of 45 surgical specimens has been profiled for miRNA expression to validate miRNA alterations associated to early relapse in advanced stage ovarian cancer patients.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE25202: microRNA alterations associated to clinical response in advanced stage ovarian cancer patients (training set). GSE25203: microRNA alterations associated to clinical response in advanced stage ovarian cancer patients (test set). Refer to individual Series
Project description:A set of 45 surgical specimens has been profiled for miRNA expression to validate miRNA alterations associated to early relapse in advanced stage ovarian cancer patients. Fresh frozen samples were collected from a series of consecutive patients with high-grade advanced stage ovarian cancer who underwent primary surgery at INT-Milan. After surgery all patients received postoperative platinum-based chemotherapy. All patients signed an Institutional Review Board approved consent for bio-banking, clinical data collection and molecular analysis. Clinical codes: Histotype: according to WHO classification guidelines Stage: according to International Federation of Gynecological and Obstetrics (FIGO) guidelines Grading: according to WHO classification guidelines Debulking: NED: not evident disease; mRD: minimal residual disease; GRD: gross residual disease Therapy code: P: Platinum without taxanes; PT: Platinum/paclitaxel
Project description:Early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (eEOC) patients have a generally favorable prognosis but heterogeneous behavior at recurrence. Accurate prediction of the risk of relapse is still a major concern, essentially to avoid overtreatment. We have identified a robust miRNA-based signature named MiROvaR able to predict early disease recurrence in case materials of mostly advanced-stage EOC patients. We challenged MiROvaR in the eEOC sub-setting (stage IA-IIB) and it proved to accurately classify eEOC patients according to their risk of relapse.

Project description:microRNA alterations associated to clinical response in advanced stage ovarian cancer patients
Project description:In order to investigate miRNA alterations associated to early relapse in ovarian cancer patients, we analyzed miRNA expression profile in a training set of 55 surgical specimens including 30 early relapsing and 25 late relapsing patients.
Project description:In order to investigate miRNA alterations associated to early relapse in ovarian cancer patietns, we analyzed miRNA expression profile in a test set of 30 surgical specimens including 13 early and 17 late relapsing patients. Samples included in test set were obtained from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens.
Project description:In order to investigate miRNA alterations associated to early relapse in ovarian cancer patietns, we analyzed miRNA expression profile in a test set of 30 surgical specimens including 13 early and 17 late relapsing patients. Samples included in test set were obtained from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens. Patients were selected on the basis of residual disease after primary surgery and time to relapse (TTR) after front-line chemotherapy. For the test set, a selection of the outliers concerning TTR was made: 12 months from the end of therapy was the TTR selected to define early (<12 months) or late (>12 months) relapsing patients. Clinical codes: Histotype: according to International Federation of Gynecological and Obstetrics guidelines Stage: according to International Federation of Gynecological and Obstetrics guidelines Grading: according to International Federation of Gynecological and Obstetrics guidelines Debulking: NED: not evident disease; mRD: minimal residual disease; GRD: gross residual disease Therapy code: P: Platinum without taxanes; PT: Platinum/paclitaxel End Point: Early: relapse whithin 12 and 6 months from the end of therapy for optimally (NED+ mRD) and sub-optimally (GRD) debulked patients respectively. Late: median time to relapse 48 and 34 months from the end of therapy for optimally and sub-optimally debulked patients respectively.
