Ovarian clear cell and endometrioid carcinomas (type I) are thought to develop from endometriosis. ARID1A loss of expression is known to be related to the promotion of the endometriosis carcinogenesis. Despite the diverse origins and prognosis of type I and type II carcinomas, surgery followed by platinum-based chemotherapy is the mainstay of treatment for both.

Methods: This was a reconstituted cohort study from a single-institution Brazilian cancer center approved under review board no. 68150617.
Objectives: We compared the indication of laparoscopy for treatment of adnexal masses based on the risk scores and tumor diameters with the indication based on gynecology-oncologists' experience.
Methods: This was a prospective study of 174 women who underwent surgery for adnexal tumors (116 laparotomies, 58 laparoscopies). The surgeries begun and completed by laparoscopy, with benign pathologic diagnosis, were considered successful.
Purpose: To assess clinical factors, histopathologic diagnoses, operative time and differences in complication rates between women undergoing laparoscopy or laparotomy to diagnose and treat an adnexal mass and their association with laparoscopy failure.
Methods: In this prospective study, 210 women were invited to participate and 133 of them were included. Eighty-eight women underwent laparotomy and 45 underwent laparoscopy.
Background: This manuscript evaluates whether specific symptoms, a symptom index (SI), CA125 and HE4 can help identify women with malignant tumors in the group of women with adnexal masses previously diagnosed with ultrasound.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with data collection between January 2010 and January 2012. We invited 176 women with adnexal masses of suspected ovarian origin, attending the hospital of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Unicamp School of Medicine.
Purpose: To assess the association between clinical symptoms and the diagnosis of malignancy in women with adnexal tumors who underwent surgery.
Methods: Cross-sectional study, in which 105 women with adnexal tumors and indication for laparotomy/laparoscopy were included. All women were treated at a teaching hospital in the state of São Paulo between November 2009 and March 2011.
