Hazard ratio (HR) estimated from Cox model.
PS: performance status.
III-optimal Micro: stage III without gross tumor residual after debulking; III-optimal Gross: stage III with a tumor residual >0 - ≤1cm after debulking; III-suboptimal: stage III with a tumor residual>1cm after debulking.
CA-125 at pre-chemotherapy or during treatment evaluated separately by Cox regression models, HR estimated adjusted for age, performance status and FIGO stage/volume residual; CA 125 at pre-treatment defined as the measurement at pre-chemotherapy following surgical debulking; CA-125 at end of treatment defined as the last measurement of CA-125 level over treatment period; CA-125≤ 35 u/ml defined as normal and CA-125>35 u/ml defined as high
