Abstract | AIM: METHODS: One-hundred forty-two patients with surgically resected ovarian tumors were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Expression of LAT1, ASCT2, CD98, Ki-67 and microvessel density (MVD) determined by CD34 were evaluated using specimens of the resected tumors. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: LAT1 is highly expressed in various ovarian tumors and a positive LAT1 expression can serve as a significant independent factor for predicting a poor OS in patients with epidermal ovarian cancer.
