Abstract:

Objective To investigate the feasibility of mean platelet volume(MPV) as a prognostic biomarker for ovarian cancer. Methods The clinical data of 170 patients with ovarian cancer who underwent surgery at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2011 to January 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were classified into MPV≥9.7 fL group(117 cases) and MPV<9.7 fL group(53 cases). The relationship between MPV levels and clinical pathological data was analyzed. The influence of MPV levels on 5-year overall survival(OS) in patients with ovarian cancer was evaluated. Results There was a correlation between the 2 groups for hemoglobin(Hb),white blood cell(WBC) count,platelet(PLT) count and the stages of the International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology of 2014(FIGO)(P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the OS in MPV <9.7 fL group was shorter than that in MPV ≥9.7 fL group(P<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that MPV was an independent influencing factor for poor prognosis in patients with ovarian cancer. Conclusions The decreasing of MPV is an influential factor for poor prognosis in patients with ovarian cancer.
