Abstract

Introduction/Background Both nutritional and inflammatory status seem to play a central role in the evolution of ovarian cancer patients. The aim of the current paper is to investigate the association between C reactive protein to albumin ratio and the postoperative outcomes of ovarian cancer patients.

Methodology In the current paper we introduced 107 patients diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer submitted to per primam debulking surgery. An optimal cutoff value of 0,75 was obtained using the receiver operation curve

Results Higher levels of this parameter were significantly associated with higher values of CA125 (p=0,02), higher stages (p=0,04), incomplete debulking (p=0,02) and with more frequent postoperative complications (p=0,004). When it comes to the long term outcomes, higher values of CRP/albumin ratio were associated with significantly poorer disease free and overall survival (12,3 and 18 months respectively) when compared to cases with lower values of this parameter (15,1 months and 26 months respectively) (p=0,001 and p=0,0004 respectively).

Conclusion CRP/albumin ratio represents a significant prognostic marker which seems to identify cases at risk to have a poorer evolution after per primamdebulking surgery. Therefore such cases might benefit more if neoadjuvant chemotherapy is administrated.
