In connection with these cellular effects, the thyroid status of cancer patients can have prognostic value.</p><p><bold>The aim</bold> of study: to assess the effect of thyroid status on disease-free survival of patients with stage III ovarian cancer (OC).</p><p><bold>Materials and methods</bold>. Prospective trial with eligibility criteria for the inclusion and exclusion of participants was conducted. The study included 128 patients with stage III OC aged 45 to 70 years. All patients before treatment was determined thyroid status by examining the serum levels of thyroid hormones and performing an ultrasound examination of the thyroid gland. All patients received a comprehensive treatment of OC, including surgery and chemotherapy, and have complete remission following after treatment. After confirming the recurrence of the disease and/or death of the patient, the duration of the disease-free survival was determined.</p><p><bold>Results.</bold> Medians disease-free survival were 13.5 months, 17.8 months and 11.1 months for the euthyroid, hypothyroid and hyperthyroid groups, respectively, while significant differences in the medians disease-free survival occurred between the euthyroid and hypothyroid groups (p = 0.0206) and between the hypo- and hyperthyroid groups (p = 0.0156).</p><p><bold>Conclusions.</bold> Patients with hypothyroidism before the treatment of advanced OC have better disease-free survival. Thyroid status is independent favorable prognostic factor for survival in OC.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Введение</bold>. Негеномные эффекты тиреоидных гормонов, опосредованные через воздействие на мембранный рецептор CD51/CD61, выражаются в активации атипической клеточной пролиферации, стимуляции опухолевого ангиогенеза и клеточной миграции. В связи с данными клеточными эффектами тиреоидный статус онкологических пациентов может иметь прогностическое значение.</p><p><bold>Цель исследования</bold> — оценить влияние тиреоидного статуса (гипо-, эу- и субклинического гипертиреоза) на суррогатные маркеры выживаемости (длительность безрецидивного периода) больных раком яичников (РЯ) III стадии.</p><p><bold>Материалы и методы</bold>. В исследование включено 128 больных РЯIIIстадии в возрасте 45—70лет, соответствующих критериям включения и не имеющих критериев исключения. Всем пациенткам до начала специального лечения был определен тиреоидный статус путем исследования уровней тиреоидных гормонов в крови и выполнено ультразвуковое исследование щитовидной железы. Все пациентки получили комбинированное лечение РЯ (циторедуктивная операция и адъювантная полихимиотерапия по схеме таксол (паклитаксел) + карбоплатин с эффектом ремиссии заболевания, после чего за ними осуществлялось наблюдение. В случаях подтверждения рецидива заболевания и/или смерти пациентки определялась продолжительность безрецидивного периода. Результаты. Медиана времени до прогрессирования составила 13,5; 17,8 и 11,1 мес для эу-, гипо- и гипертиреоидной групп соответственно, при этом достоверные различия в показателях безрецидивного периода имели место между эу- и гипотиреоидными группами (р = 0,0206) и между гипер- и гипотиреоидными группами (р = 0,0156).</p><p><bold>Выводы.</bold> Гипотиреоз, выявленный до начала специального лечения злокачественного новообразования, в группе больных с диссеминированным РЯIIIстадии является благоприятным прогностическим фактором течения заболевания, что проявляется в увеличении продолжительности безрецидивного периода.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>ovarian cancer</kwd><kwd>survival</kwd><kwd>thyroid hormones</kwd><kwd>hypothyroidism</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>рак яичника</kwd><kwd>выживаемость</kwd><kwd>гормоны щитовидной железы</kwd><kwd>гипотиреоз</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">1.
