Higher circHIPK3 expression is associated with lymph node invasion, advanced FIGO stage, shorter DFS and OS, and is an independent poor prognostic factor in EOC patients.
This study found that circHIPK3 is up-regulated in EOC tissues and ovarian cancer cell lines. Higher circHIPK3 expression is associated with lymph node invasion, advanced FIGO stage, shorter DFS and OS, and independently predicts poor prognosis, suggesting its value as a prognostic biomarker for EOC.
