Prognostic factors responsible for survival in sex cord stromal tumors of the ovary- An analysis of 376 women GYNECOLOGIC ONCOLOGY Zhang, M., Cheung, M. K., Shin, J. Y., Kapp, D. S., Husain, A., Teng, N. N., Berek, J. S., Osann, K., Chan, J. K. 2007; 104 (2): 396-400

Abstract

To evaluate prognostic factors that impact on the survival of women with ovarian sex cord stromal tumors (SCST).Data including age at diagnosis, stage, histology, grade, treatment, and survival were extracted from the 1988-2001 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards analyses were used to determine the predictors for survival.376 women (median age: 51) with ovarian sex cord stromal cell tumors were identified, including 339 with granulosa cell and 37 with Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors. 265 (71%) patients had stage I, 39 (10%) stage II, 40 (11%) stage III, and 32 (8%) had stage IV disease. Women with stage I-II disease had a 5-year disease-specific survival of 95% compared to 59% in those with stage III-IV cancers (p<0.001). Patients 50 years (93% vs. 84%, p<0.001). This age-associated survival advantage was observed for early (97% vs. 92%, p=0.003), but not for advanced-staged (68% vs. 53%, p=0.09) patients. 110 patients with stage I-II disease underwent conservative surgery without hysterectomy. The survival for this group was similar to patients who underwent a standard surgery including a hysterectomy (94.8% and 94.9%, p=0.38). On multivariate analysis, age
