The Prognostic 97 Chemoresponse Gene Signature in Ovarian Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Patient diagnosis and care would be significantly improved by understanding the mechanisms underlying platinum and taxane resistance in ovarian cancer. Here, we aim to establish a gene signature that can identify molecular pathways/transcription factors involved in ovarian cancer progression, poor clinical outcome, and chemotherapy resistance. To validate the robustness of the gene signature, a meta-analysis approach was applied to 1,020 patients from 7 datasets. A 97-gene signature was identified as an independent predictor of patient survival in association with other clinicopathological factors in univariate [hazard ratio (HR): 3.0, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.66-5.44, p = 2.7E-4] and multivariate [HR: 2.88, 95% CI 1.57-5.2, p = 0.001] analyses. Subset analyses demonstrated that the
