The association between lymph node metastases and long-term survival in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer.

Introduction: A key survival prognosis factor for patients treated for ovarian cancer is complete cytoreductive surgery where all macroscopic neoplastic implants, including enlarged metastatic lymph nodes, are removed. We presume that investigating the involvement of the lymphatic system can result in a more individualized approach to the treatment of ovarian cancer patients. The main aim of our study was to analyze the relationship between the presence, number and types of lymph node metastases and ovarian cancer patient prognosis.

Wilms' tumor 1 antigen immunoreactivity in epithelial ovarian cancer - diagnostic and prognostic value.

Objectives: Ovarian cancer is a heterogeneous disease, with a number of different histological subtypes with various responses to treatment. Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) immunoreactivity is used to distinguish between OC's various subtypes. However, little is known about the protein's role as a prognostic factor.

An Analysis of Long-Term Outcomes in Patients Treated by Extensive Bowel Resection Due to Advanced Ovarian Cancer Relative to the Effectiveness of Surgery.

Introduction: Surgery for advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) often requires bowel resections. However, the impact of bowel surgery on patient overall survival (OS) has not yet been precisely determined.

Objective: The aim of the study was to analyze the OS rates in a group of AOC patients undergoing bowel resection.

Chemical 3D tomography of 28nm high K metal gate transistor: STEM XEDS experimental method and results.

A new STEM XEDS tomography technique is proposed thanks to the implementation of multi EDX SDD detectors in analytical TEMs. The technique flow is presented and the first results obtained on a 28nm FDSOI transistor are detailed. The latter are compared with 2D XEDS analysis to demonstrate the interest of the slice extraction in all directions from a large analyzed volume without any 3D overlap effect issues.
