The shortest follow-up period in our study was 54 months and the median follow-up period was 69 months, so our follow-up period was more normative than that of Zhao et al. In this study, we explored the relationship between the expression of Beclin 1 and the prognosis of ovarian carcinoma again and found that Beclin 1 expression and surgical stage are independent risk factors for this prognosis. The gene discussed is BECN1; the disease is ovarian carcinoma.
