ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND/AIM: To evaluate the role of serine protease inhibitor B11 (SERPINB11) expression as a prognostic biomarker in high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) and clear cell carcinoma of the ovary (CCC).

MATERIALS AND METHODS: We obtained tumor tissues from patients with HGSC (n=145) and CCC (n=59). We evaluated immunohistochemically the expression of SERPINB11 and investigated whether SERPINB11 expression affects platinum-resistance and the prognosis of HGSC and CCC.

RESULTS: High expression of SERPINB11 was more common in CCC than in HGSC (57.6% vs. 28.3%; p<0.01), and SEPRINB11 expression did not correlate with platinum-resistance of HGSC and CCC. High expression of SERPINB11 was associated with worse progression-free survival and overall survival with marginal significance in HGSC; no relation between SERPINB11 expression and the prognosis of C CC was found.

CONCLUSION: SERPINB11 expression maybe a prognostic biomarker for HGSC.
