Clinical calculator summary
Original 2012 Tian iMODEL
A six-factor additive score that stratifies the likelihood of complete secondary cytoreduction in recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer.
Evidence-based context for fast calculator use
- Purpose:
- Support multidisciplinary assessment before contemplated secondary cytoreductive surgery.
- Population:
- First platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer assessed before secondary cytoreduction.
- Factors:
- Initial FIGO stage, Primary-surgery residual disease, Progression-free interval, ECOG performance status, CA-125 at recurrence, Ascites
- Reference:

Tian iMODEL for Ovarian Cancer Recurrence
Clinical Context & Background
iMODEL = FIGO (0 or 0.8) + residual disease (0 or 1.5) + PFI (0 or 2.4) + ECOG (0 or 2.4) + CA-125 (0 or 1.8) + ascites (0 or 3.0). Scores ≤4.7 are low-risk; scores >4.7 are high-risk.Reference Data
| Tian score | Source group | Complete cytoreduction in development cohort |
|---|---|---|
| 0.0-4.7 | Low-risk group | 53.4% |
| >4.7-11.9 | High-risk group | 20.1% |

When To Use
- Confirmed first platinum-sensitive recurrence of epithelial ovarian cancer.
- Baseline assessment before contemplated secondary cytoreductive surgery.
How To Interpret
- A score of 4.7 or less is the original Tian low-risk group; a score above 4.7 is the high-risk group.
- The reported 53.4% and 20.1% complete-cytoreduction rates are development-cohort observations, not individualized probabilities.
What To Do Next
- Use the result alongside imaging, surgical expertise, comorbidity, patient preferences, and multidisciplinary review.
Limitations
- Not validated for primary disease, borderline or non-epithelial tumors, platinum-resistant disease, later recurrence after additional treatment, or post-treatment reassessment.
- Does not replace AGO/DESKTOP assessment, specialist resectability review, or clinical judgment.
- Does not incorporate the SOC-1 PET/CT investigator override.
Validated Population
International recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer cohorts undergoing evaluation for secondary cytoreduction.

Calculation verification history
Verified: Production browser revalidation
- Three source-backed cases passed through visible production controls at iMODEL scores 0, exact cutoff 4.7, and maximum 11.9.
- The <=4.7 low-risk and >4.7 high-risk branches rendered as expected.
- No unexpected N/A, literal undefined value, stale control, unsupported gauge, or browser-console error was observed.
Case-level evidence is retained in validation/browser-revalidation/imodel-ovarian-recurrence-2026-08-03.json.
: Production browser validation
- Ten source-backed cases were entered and submitted through the visible production controls at oncotoolkit.com across 11 browser submissions; all ten calculation and UI cases matched their expected results.
- The matrix covered every source component, the raw 16-month PFI and 105 U/mL CA-125 transitions, the inclusive 4.7 group boundary, the below-6-month not-applicable path, and reset/repeat behavior without stale state.
- Overall browser status was failed-console because production route loads emitted minified React hydration error #418; no calculator-specific console error or calculation mismatch was observed.
Case-level production evidence is retained in validation/browser-production/imodel-ovarian-recurrence.json.
: Input workflow simplified and revalidated
- Reduced the public form to result-, branch-, unit-, and applicability-changing inputs; removed or consolidated non-scoring, administrative, and duplicate questions.
- Preserved the verified calculation or report-interpretation logic, thresholds, model version, component logic, and supported result pathways behind strict deterministic adapters.
- Passed the calculator-specific regression audit, adapter-parity and malformed-input checks, the 144-calculator input-quality audit, and the 43-calculator entry-burden audit.
: Full validation test
- 384/384 source-oracle, engine, UI, boundary, malformed-input, applicability, trace, registry, report, history, and isolation checks passed with zero score difference.
- This verifies implementation of the original 2012 model; it is not independent clinical validation, an individualized probability, or a treatment recommendation.
: Source and input-contract correction
- Restored all six original Tian weights, the 16-month PFI and 105 U/mL CA-125 cutoffs, the inclusive 4.7 low-risk boundary, and the source cohort outcome rates.
- Removed favorable defaults, permissive summing, the unrelated ADNEX description, unsupported intermediate group, candidacy labels, and unverified outcome claims.
- Added explicit diagnosis, recurrence-setting, assessment-timing, malformed-input, and platinum-sensitive population gates.
