Fig. 1From: GDF15 predict platinum response during first-line chemotherapy and can act as a complementary diagnostic serum biomarker with CA125 in epithelial ovarian cancerThe level of serum GDF15 and CA125 in patients with EOC and healthy control. Serum GDF15 and CA125 in patients with EOC is significantly higher than that of others (P < 0.0001), notably, an elevated level of GDF15 was significantly presented in the stage I-II. Moreover, the gradual elevation in serum GDF15 and CA125 was clearly discernible, with significantly higher serum level in stage III -IV. Ovarian carcinoma refers to the group of all patients with ovarian cancer, Stage I-IV refers to the stage I to IV of ovarian cancer patients individuallyBack to article page
