Objective: To evaluate the relationship between combined multigene detection and response to chemotherapy and prognosis in epithelial ovarian carcinomas (EOCS).
Methods: A total of 80 ovarian tissue samples taken from the surgical specimens of patients with EOCS of our hospital in the last two decades who had received chemotherapy after surgery were paraffin-embedded. The samples were divided into 2 groups, good prognosis group (patients who survived more than 2 years, n = 46) and poor prognosis group (patients who survived less than 2 years, n = 34).
