Link between iron-mediated lipid peroxidation and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): exploring the genes underlying iron regulatory mechanism.

Objective: Mechanism underlying the etiology of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is still debatable. Present study explores the link between iron-mediated ferroptosis and PCOS.

Methodology: Blood samples were collected from 150 PCOS females along with healthy controls.

Mucinous borderline ovarian tumor with ascites.

Borderline mucinous tumors are epithelial ovarian tumors with low rate of growth and low potential to invade or metastasize and associated with significantly better prognosis and excellent disease-free survival after surgical removal than other epithelial ovarian cancers. The accepted initial treatment is surgical removal of the tumor. Fertility-sparing surgery may suffice in young patients with tumors confined to the ovary.
