Popis: Objective To investigate FOXO1 expression in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), and to explore its correlation with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis of EOC. Methods Two hundred and sixteen cases of paraffin-embedded EOC and 41 paratumor tissues from 2009 to 2017 that had been pathologically confirmed at the memorial hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were included in this study, and the expression of FOXO1 was performed by immunohistochemistry using a polyclonal antibody specific for FOXO1. Results FOXO1 protein expression is associated with Recurrence free and overall survival in EOC patients; In addition, FOXO1 expression is associated with age, FIGO stage, intraperitoneal metastasis, intestinal metastasis, vital status, intraperitoneal recurrence and differentiation grade; Moreover, in a multivariate model FOXO1 overexpression was an independent predictor of poor survival in EOC. Conclusion FOXO1 may play a candidate oncogenic role in EOC, and FOXO1 is a useful independent prognostic marker in EOC, and it may provide a candidate target therapy in future.
