Figure 3From: Platinum sensitivity and CD133 expression as risk and prognostic predictors of central nervous system metastases in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer Kaplan–Meier curves of cumulative overall survival after the diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) metastases in 29 patients with CNS metastases from ovarian cancer. (A) Platinum-resistant vs. platinum-sensitive disease. Result of multivariate Cox regression; HR, 5.13; 95% CI, 1.28-20.57; P = 0.021. (B) Multimodal therapy including stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) vs. multimodal therapy including whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) vs. unimodal therapy with WBRT or neurosurgery vs. steroids. Result of multivariate Cox regression; multimodal therapy including SRS vs. others: HR, 0.12; 95% CI, 0.03-0.55; P = 0.007. (C) CD133 cluster formation vs. CD133 negative or single cell. Result of multivariate Cox regression; HR, 12.08; 95% CI, 1.55-94.16; P = 0.017.Back to article page
