Abstract: Numerous prognostic models have been proposed for ovarian cancer, extending from single serological factors to complex gene-expression signatures. Nonetheless, these models have not been routinely translated into clinical practice. We constructed a robust and readily calculable model for predicting surgical outcome and prognosis of ovarian cancer patients by exploiting commonly available clinico-pathological factors and three selected serum parameters.Serum CA125, human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) and mesothelin (MSL) were quantified by Lumipulse® G chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (Fujirebio) in a total of 342 serum samples from 190 ovarian cancer patients, including 152 paired pre- and post-operative samples.Detection of pre-operative HE4 and CA125 was the optimal marker combination for blood-based prediction of surgical outcome (AUC=0.86). We constructed a prognostic model, computed by serum levels of pre-operative CA125, post-operative HE4, post-operative MSL and surgical outcome. Prognostic performance of our model was superior to any of these parameters alone and was independent from BRCA1/2 mutational status. We subsequently transformed our model into a prognostic risk index, stratifying patients as 'lower risk' or 'higher risk'. In 'higher risk' patients, relapse or death was predicted with an AUC of 0.89 and they had a significantly shorter progression free survival (HR: 9.74; 95 % CI: 5.95-15.93; p<0.0001) and overall survival (HR: 5.62; 95 % CI: 3.16-9.99; p<0.0001) compared to 'lower risk' patients.We present a robust predictive/prognostic model for ovarian cancer, which could readily be implemented into routine diagnostics in order to identify ovarian cancer patients at high risk of recurrence.
