Article Synopsis
- Elevated allostatic load (AL), which reflects cumulative physiological stress, is linked to increased mortality in various cancer patients, but its connection to ovarian cancer mortality was previously unknown.
- This study analyzed data from 201 ovarian cancer patients to examine the relationship between high allostatic load and overall survival, using a robust statistical model to assess outcomes.
- Results indicated that high allostatic load significantly correlated with increased mortality risk in ovarian cancer patients, suggesting it could be a useful marker for identifying those in need of additional socioenvironmental support during treatment.
