Recurrence rate and quality of life in women with borderline ovarian tumours, according to surgical approach.

Objectives: To assess the recurrence rate and quality of life (QOL) in women with a history of borderline ovarian tumours (BOTs) based on the type of surgery (conservative vs non-conservative) in Spain.

Study Design: A retrospective analysis was conducted of 85 women treated for BOTs between 2007 and 2023 at two hospitals. QOL questionnaires were administered face-to-face to eligible patients.

Immune-related adverse events in patients with solid-organ tumours treated with immunotherapy: a 3-year study of 102 cases from a single centre.

Objectives: Immune checkpoint blockade therapy (ICBT) increases the anti-tumoural function of the immune system, but it can also induce immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Our aim was to assess the irAEs due to ICBT in patients from a single centre of Northern Spain.

Methods: We set up an observational study of patients treated in monotherapy with ICBT targeted against cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4), programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) or its ligand (PD-L1) for solid organ tumours.
