Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the independent significance of prognostic factors in stage I invasive epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).Patients and Methods: Between 1980 and 1994, all patients with stage I EOC (borderline tumors excluded) following surgical resection were entered onto this study, No patient received adjuvant therapy and patients were monitored as follows: years 1 to 2-physical examination and serum CA125 every 3 months and computed tomographic (CT) scan every 6 months; years 3 to 5-physical examination and serum CA 125 every 6 months and CT scan yearly; years 5 to 10-annual physical examination and serum CA125, with CT scan if clinically indicated.Results: A total of 194 patients entered the study. The median patient age was 54 years (range, 15 to 83), and the median follow-up duration 54 months (range, 7 to 157). Five-year survival rates were as follows: stage IA, 93.7%; stage IB, 92%; and stage IC, 84%. Multivariate analysis using Cox's regression identified grade (P
