Only two previous reports describe the prognostic value of DDIT4. Jia et al. 7, evaluated DDIT4 protein expression (assessed by immunohistochemistry) in 100 primary ovarian tumors describing that a high DDIT4 expression is related to a shorter disease-free survival (P = 0.020) and overall survival (P = 0.023)7. The gene discussed is DDIT4; the disease is ovarian neoplasm.
