| Abstract |
Recent studies have shown diagnostic and prognostic values of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) in various cancers, including ovarian cancer. We aimed to evaluate the association of CTCs and/or DTCs with the clinical outcomes of ovarian cancer. Clinical studies of CTCs/DTCs of ovarian cancer were included for systematic review and meta-analysis. A total of 236 studies were screened but only 16 qualified studies with 1623 subjects were included. Odds ratio (OR) showed CTCs/DTCs were not significantly associated with serous carcinoma (OR = 0.71 [0.49, 1.05]), lymph node metastasis (OR 1.14 [0.67, 1.93]), and residual disease (OR 1.45 [0.90, 2.34]); but significantly associated with advanced tumor staging (OR = 1.90 [1.02, 3.56]). The overall pooled hazard ratio (HR) of CTCs/DTCs on OS and PFS/DFS was 1.94 [1.56- 2.40] and 1.99 [1.59-2.50], respectively. Subgroup analyses revealed that CTCs were significantly associated OS (HR 1.97 [1.50-2.58]) and PFS/DFS (HR 2.52 [1.83-3.48]), while DTCs was significantly associated OS (HR 1.89 [1.33, 2.68]) and PFS/DFS (HR 1.60 [1.17, 2.19]). Meta-analysis showed strong relationship of CTCs/DTCs with advanced staging, treatment response and poor prognosis in patients with ovarian cancer. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 June 2015.
All research outputs
#18,416,517
of 22,813,792 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Ovarian Research
#315
of 586 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#172,115
of 239,954 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Ovarian Research
#11
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,813,792 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 586 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.2. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 239,954 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
