Abstract Background Ovarian cancer remains one of the most lethal malignancies in women which is typically diagnosed at a late stage and has no effective screening strategy. It is essential to explore novel biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of ovarian cancer, as well as therapeutic targets. Recent studies have shown that circRNAs participate in ovarian cancer progression by regulating various processes and being able to act as potential biomarkers for ovarian cancer diagnosis and prognosis. In the present study we aimed to explore the prognostic role of circ_0078607 in high-grade serous ovarian cancer. Results The expression of circ_0078607 in 49 high-grade serous ovarian cancer and adjacent non-cancerous tissue samples were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). We noticed that circ_0078607 expression was significantly downregulated in ovarian cancer tissues compared with adjacent non-cancerous tissues. Besides, patients with low circ_0078607 expression exhibited parameters associated with poor prognosis, including advanced FIGO stage and higher serum CA125 level. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that both progression-free survival and overall survival were significantly shortened in patients with low circ_0078607 expression. Cox regression model analysis showed that low expression of circ_0078607 was an adverse prognostic indicator for high-grade serous ovarian cancer patients. Conclusions Low expression of circ_0078607 might be an adverse prognostic indicator for high-grade serous ovarian cancer patients.

Aim: To describe the overall cancer-related healthcare utilization patterns, treatment patterns and outcomes in women diagnosed with platinum-sensitive recurrent high-grade serous ovarian cancer. Patients & methods: Subanalysis of the Spanish sample of a retrospective, noninterventional, multinational, observational study. Results: BRCA-mutated patients had better outcomes in terms of progression-free survival and overall survival than patients who were BRCA wild-type. It was observed that patients’ treatment outcomes after the first recurrence progressively worsened as the patient underwent subsequent chemotherapy lines. Healthcare resource utilization when accounting for the follow-up time did not substantially differ between BRCA1/ 2-mutated and BRCA wild-type patients. Conclusion: BRCA1/2 mutation carriers have better treatment outcomes, including longer survival, without a negative impact on the use of healthcare resources.
