Non-Epithelial Ovarian Cancers: How Much Do We Really Know?

Alison Cheung et al.

Summary: This article provides an update on the clinical presentation, pathology, genetics, treatment, and survival of the main histological subtypes of non-epithelial ovarian cancers (NEOC), including germ cell tumors (GCT), sex cord-stromal tumors (SCST), and ovarian small cell carcinomas. It also discusses miRNA expression profiles of NEOC and reports ongoing clinical trials involving NEOC.

Revisiting the necessity for routine appendectomies in mucinous neoplasms of the ovary: An evaluation of 460 mucinous ovarian tumors

Ahlam Albloshi et al.

Summary: This study re-examines the necessity of appendectomies following an intraoperative diagnosis of mucinous ovarian neoplasms. The findings suggest that only patients who meet specific criteria are likely to benefit from appendix removal.

What are the implications of radiologically abnormal cardiophrenic lymph nodes in advanced ovarian cancer? An analysis of tumour burden, surgical complexity, same-site recurrence and overall survival

Susan Addley et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the relationship between radiologically abnormal cardiophrenic lymph nodes in advanced ovarian cancer patients and found that suspicious CPLN may represent higher tumor volume and complexity in surgery, as well as being associated with same-site recurrence, but does not affect overall survival.

Epithelial Ovarian Cancer: Providing Evidence of Predisposition Genes

Sidrah Shah et al.

Summary: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is significantly influenced by hereditary factors, with a number of genes encoding proteins involved in the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) pathway. PVs in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes contribute to a substantial fraction of hereditary EOC, while PV genes in the MMR pathway account for 10-15%. Identifying HR-deficient EOC patients has important implications for clinical treatment planning and targeted therapies.

The outcome of patients with serous papillary peritoneal cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and epithelial ovarian cancer by treatment eras: 27 years data from the SEER registry

Nicholas Pavlidis et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the differential effect of treatment periods on the survival of patients with stage IV SPPC, fallopian tube cancers, and EOC. The results showed significant differences in cause-specific survival among different treatment eras, with treatment era and age at diagnosis being closely associated with cause-specific survival. Subgroup analyses of phase III randomized controlled trials by tumor subset may provide more insights into the effects of novel therapies.

Malignant Ascites in Ovarian Cancer: Cellular, Acellular, and Biophysical Determinants of Molecular Characteristics and Therapy Response

Brittany P. Rickard et al.

Summary: The abnormal accumulation of fluid in the abdomen, known as ascites, often indicates underlying tissue dysfunction or disease, such as cancer. Among ovarian cancer patients, the presence of ascites is associated with the poorest outcomes. Despite limited understanding of the role of malignant ascites in promoting metastasis and therapy resistance, treatment options are being explored to improve patient prognosis.
