Aims: To evaluate the potential role of serum cystatin C as a marker of renal function in patients with ovarian cancer.
Methods: Treatment of consecutive ovarian cancer patients who were eligible for chemotherapy with paclitaxel (135 mg/m²/24 h) and cisplatin (75 mg/m²) every 3 weeks in 6 cycles. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) markers, i.
Unlabelled: Cystatin C, a cysteine protease inhibitor, has been recommended as a new marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). THE AIM OF STUDY We investigated significance of cystatin C in assessment of GFR and its influence on overall survival (OS) in patients with ovarian cancer (OC).
Material And Methods: We prospectively included consecutive patients with OC, who after surgery were qualified to first line chemotherapy according to the following protocol: cisplatin 75 mg/m2 and 24-hour infusion of paclitaxel 135 mg/m2 every three weeks.

Objectives: The aim of our study was to assess the prognostic role of CA 125 regression during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with ovarian cancer (OC) or primary peritoneal serous carcinoma (PPSC) that underwent interval debulking surgery (IOC).
Material And Methods: Thirty one patients with advanced OC or PPSC (FIGO stage IIIC and IV) who underwent initial exploratory surgery, followed by NAC containing platinum analogs, have been analyzed, retrospectively. We have used a regression coefficient (RCA 125), which was calculated as following: log10 (CA 125 level measured after two cycles of NAC/baseline CA 125) for statistical analysis.
