dc.description.abstractBACKGROUND: Epithelial ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies, and has a high recurrence rate. Thus, prognostic markers
for recurrence are crucial for the care of ovarian cancer. As ovarian cancers frequently exhibit chromosome instability, we aimed at
assessing the prognostic significance of two key mitotic kinases, BubR1 and Aurora A.
METHODS: We analysed paraffin-embedded tissue sections from 160 ovarian cancer patients whose clinical outcomes had been
tracked after first-line treatment.
RESULTS: The median recurrence-free survival in patients with a positive and negative expression of BubR1 was 27 and 83 months,
respectively (Po0.001). A positive BubR1 expression was also associated with advanced stage, serous histology and high grade.
In contrast, Aurora A immunostaining did not correlate with any of the clinical parameters analysed.
CONCLUSION: BubR1, but not Aurora A, is a prognostic marker for recurrence-free survival rates in epithelial ovarian cancers.
