genes are part of homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair pathways in charge of error-free double-strand break (DSB) repair. Loss-of-function mutations of genes have been associated for a long time with breast and ovarian cancer hereditary syndrome. Recently, polyadenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) have revolutionized the therapeutic landscape of -mutated tumors, especially of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC), taking advantage of HR deficiency through the synthetic lethality concept.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: Identifying prognostic factors and evaluating the impact of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with sex cord stromal tumors (SCST) is crucial. In this study, we aimed to address these challenges.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of data from 13 centers of the French Rare malignant gynecological tumors (TMRG) network.
Purpose Of Review: Guidelines are essential to support appropriate medical management. The objective of our paper is to highlight the need for such recommendations, to reinforce strategies in place and to promote the creation of multidisciplinary networks to provide the most appropriate care to patients and to improve it.
Recent Findings: Gynecological rare cancers are not that rare since they represent around 50% of all gynecological cancers.
Purpose Of Review: This article, focus on recently published data of the last 18 months on the management of gynecologic sarcomas.
Recent Findings: Different tools have been studied to identify the differences between benign from malignant uterine conjonctive tumor.Molecular biology impact more and more on the diagnosis of uterine sarcoma with new definitions of very specific groups.
