Parameter		Number of patients
Age		35-87 years (mean = 62)
Histological grade	Low	3
	High	120
	NA^a	27
FIGO stage	III	83
FIGO stage	IV	67
Residual disease	≤1 cm	59
	>1 cm	63
	NA^b	28
CA 125 at diagnosis ^c		11-43800 years (mean = 3375)
Chemoresponse after primary treatment ^d	CR	78
	PR	32
	SD	9

^aNA = non available, including effusions from inoperable patients where biopsy was too small for grading or patients operated on in other hospitals, for which the primary tumor could not be accessed for assessment of grade.
^bNA = non available, including 4 patients who only received chemotherapy and 1 patient who received no therapy.
^cCA 125 levels available for 104 patients.
^dCR = complete response, PR = partial response, SD = stable disease, PD = progressive disease, NE = disease response after chemotherapy could not be evaluated because of adverse effects, normalized CA-125 after primary surgery or missing CA-125 information and no residual tumor.
