FIGO: The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics; PFS: progression-free survival; OS: overall survival; CI: Confidence interval; HR: Hazard ratio; statistically significant differences are indicated in bold. In the multivariate analysis, FIGO staging and histological grade were significantly associated with PFS; FIGO III + IV had an HR = 2.87 (95% CI: 1.15–7.18) and presence of post-surgery residual disease had an HR = 2.04 (1.12–3.71) and were more likely to progress compared with FIGO I + II and absence of post-surgery residual disease. There was a trend association between FIGO staging (HR = 2.28; 95% CI: 0.96–5.39; p = 0.06) and post-surgery residual disease (HR = 1.73; 95% CI: 0.96–3.13; p = 0.06) with OS in a multivariate model.
