Objective. Prior Studies have Suggested that patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer at an older age have Worse Outcomes. However, few Studies have examined whether differing patterns of protein expression in tumors in older patients correlate with this poorer prognosis. We investigated the correlation of age with prognosis and the significance of hormone receptor status in younger versus older patients through construction of a clinically-annotated high-density tissue microarray (HTMA) composed of stage III and IV papillary serous ovarian cancer cases.Methods. Two cohorts of patients (age >= 65 and = 70 years had decreased Survival On univariate, but not multivariate, analysis. ER was significantly more likely (p=0.01) and PR significantly less likely (p=0.02) to be expressed in older patients. Neither ER nor PR independently correlated with survival in the overall study population.Conclusions. Patients with advanced-stage papillary serous ovarian cancer >= 65 years of age at diagnosis have a similar Survival as patients
