Prognostic Value of KELIM Score and Inflammatory Markers in Ovarian Cancer
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
This is a retrospective observational study to evaluate the integrative prognostic value of inflammatory markers, specifically the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), alongside the CA-125 Elimination rate constant K (KELIM) score in advanced ovarian cancer patients. The study includes patients with advanced serous ovarian cancer (stage III or IV) who received neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery at Sohag University Hospital and Sohag Cancer Center between 2022 and 2025. The primary objective is to evaluate how well these biomarkers predict survival outcomes, including progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Additionally, the study aims to assess their significance in predicting the success of complete versus incomplete cytoreductive surgery following neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Progression-Free Survival (PFS) — From the date of diagnosis up to 4 years (assessed using retrospective medical records of patients treated between 2022 and 2025).
Evaluation of the prognostic value of baseline neutrophil lymphocyte ratio, platelet lymphocyte ratio, and CA 125 KELIM score in predicting progression-free survival in locally advanced ovarian cancer patients receiving platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery. PFS is calculated as the time from the date of diagnosis to the date of first documented clinical or radiological disease progression, or death from any cause. - Overall Survival (OS) — From the date of diagnosis up to 4 years (assessed using retrospective medical records of patients treated between 2022 and 2025).
Evaluation of the prognostic value of baseline neutrophil lymphocyte ratio, platelet lymphocyte ratio, and CA 125 KELIM score in predicting overall survival in locally advanced ovarian cancer patients receiving platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery. OS is calculated as the time from the date of diagnosis to the date of death from any cause.
