Is deletion at 6q24.2-26 associated with shorter survival for ovarian cancer patients?
No, the 6q24.2-26 deletion is an independent marker of favorable outcome in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) patients with potential clinical value as it can be analyzed by FISH on tumor sections and guide the selection of patients towards more conservative therapeutic strategies in order to reduce side-effects and improve quality of life.
