Mesothelium expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule‐1 (VCAM‐1) is associated with an unfavorable prognosis in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC)

BACKGROUND Mesothelium vascular cell adhesion molecule‐1 (VCAM‐1) expression in the metastatic epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) microenvironment is induced by tumor and mediates tumor cell invasion. VCAM‐1 imaging suggests expression during treatment is an indicator of platinum resistance. Here, we assess the potential prognostic significance of mesothelium VCAM‐1 expression and prospectively evaluate whether soluble VCAM‐1 (sVCAM‐1) is a...
