Ovarian cancer is associated with high mortality due to asymptomatic nature of the disease and advance stage at presentation. In advanced stages, it is associated with cachexia and ascites leading to malnutrition. Nutritional status of a patient with cancer has been well known to be associated with survival and can be assessed by level of albumin in blood. Therefore, in this study, we sought to determine preoperative serum albumin as prognostic predictor of survival in patients with ovarian…

The association between serum albumin level and time until death persists when adjusted for demographic and treatment variables using Cox proportional hazards regression, and it is speculated that the results may be attributable to an association between low serumalbumin levels and physiological events associated with angiogenesis.
