Abstrakt: A retrospectively designed classification using stage, residuum, and a variable that combines prognostic information from both grade and histology (histology-grade variable) has been used at the authors' institution to predict prognosis and choose therapy in patients with ovarian carcinoma, stages I through III having no or small residuum. In this study, multivariate analyses of prognostic factors were performed over two time periods Group 1 (1971–1978) contains the patients from which the original classification was derived, and group 2 (1979–1985), contains a different cohort of patients who are used to test the validity and reproducibility of the original classification.
