Dynamic Prediction of Outcome for Patients With Ovarian Cancer: Application of a Joint Model for Longitudinal Cancer Antigen 125 Values

Conclusions Together, our results show that a joint model could be highly efficient in clinical consultation and diagnosis for patients newly diagnosed as having ovarian cancer. Longitudinal CA-125 values, which are measured over time, can be used to credibly predict OS after taking all adjusted covariates into account.
