In a multivariate analysis of the combined cohort using postsurgical tumor mass, lymph node involvement, age, and FIGO stage as covariates, high tumor cell CXCR3 expression remained an independent marker for poor PFS and OS in advanced HGSC patients (PFS: hazard ratio (HR) 2.11, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.30–3.45, P=0.003; OS: HR 2.36, 95% CI 1.50–3.71, P<0.001; Table 2). This evidence concerns the gene CXCR3 and neoplasm.
