Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the use of Ki-67, a marker for tumor growth, in evaluating Surface Epithelial Ovarian Carcinoma (SEOC) to find correlations with tumor grade, stage, and CA125 levels for better diagnosis and prognosis.
  • - Conducted at JSS Medical College in Mysuru, the research included 40 SEOC cases, analyzing Ki-67 expression using immunohistochemical methods, revealing that higher Ki-67 levels were linked to poor tumor grade and advanced disease stage.
  • - Results indicated that Ki-67 is a cost-effective tool that, when combined with histological data, can assist in determining subtype differentiation, prognosis, the need for chemotherapy, and overall survival predictions for SEOC patients
