The blood mMDSC to DC ratio is a sensitive and easy to assess independent predictive factor for epithelial ovarian cancer survival

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) may cause abnormal blood levels of leukocytes. This paraneoplastic manifestation is associated with a worse response to therapy and shorter survival. To understand the complexity and nature of these leukocytes, we dissected the different populations of myeloid cells and analyzed their relation to clinical outcome. Therefore, baseline blood samples of 36 EOC patients treated either with carboplatin/doxorubucin or...
