Circulating serum sialyl Tn (STN) antigen levels were measured in 89 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. Survival at 5 years for patients with STN-negative (serum STN levels less than 50 U/ml) versus STN-positive tumors (serum STN levels greater than or equal to 50 U/ml) was 76.9% versus 10.8%, respectively (p less than 0.05). The overall survival probability was worse in patients with STN-positive sera. Percent progression-free survival at 5 years for patients with STN-negative versus STN-positive tumors was 51.9% versus 5.4%, respectively (p less than 0.05). The overall progression-free survival was shorter in patients with STN-positive sera. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that positive STN antigen level in sera is an independent predictor of poor prognosis in epithelial ovarian cancer.
对89例上皮性卵巢癌患者测定了循环血清唾液酸Tn(STN)抗原水平。STN阴性(血清STN水平低于50 U/ml)与STN阳性肿瘤(血清STN水平大于或等于50 U/ml)患者的5年生存率分别为76.9%和10.8%(p<0.05)。STN阳性血清患者的总生存概率更差。STN阴性与STN阳性肿瘤患者的5年无进展生存率分别为51.9%和5.4%(p<0.05)。STN阳性血清患者的总体无进展生存期较短。多变量回归分析显示,血清中STN抗原水平阳性是上皮性卵巢癌预后不良的独立预测因素。
