The inflammatory markers combined with CA125 may predict postoperative survival in endometrial cancer by Hongxing Lin, Wenhui Zhong, Liying Zhong, Chengwen Que, Xiaosong Lin

“…In addition, multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the combination of low PDW and high CA125 (PDW + CA125 = 2) was an independent prognostic factor of survival in EC patients. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that patients with low PDW and high CA125 had worse overall survival.Conclusions The PDW and CA125 score may be an independent prognostic factor for postoperative overall survival in patients with EC and a useful marker for predicting the prognosis of these patients.…”
