Purpose: Control of ovarian cancer (OC) ascites remains a major objective in post-surgical treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of targeted alpha therapy (TAT) for the control of ascites in an OC ascites mouse model; the biodistribution of (213)Bi-C595 and its long term toxicity.
Methods: The expression of tumor-associated antigen mucin-1 (MUC-1) in OVCAR3 ascites cells in mice and OC cancer tissues in patients was detected by indirect immmunostaining. The monoclonal antibody (MAb) C595 was labeled with (213)Bi using the chelator cDTPA to form the alpha-immunoconjugate (AIC). Mice were injected with different concentrations of AIC by i.p administration. Changes in tumor progression were assessed by measurement of the circumference of the abdomen.
Results: MUC-1 is strongly expressed in 73% of OC tissues. At 9 days post-cell inoculation in mice, a single injection of 355 MBq/kg of (213)Bi-C595 can prolong survival by 25 days. A high tumor: blood ratio (5.8) was found in biodistribution study. The maximum tolerance dose (MTD) was more than 1180 MBq/kg up to 21 weeks.
Conclusions: C595 is a specific targeting vector for ovarian cancer cells, which show a high percentage of expression of MUC1. (213)Bi-C595 can effectively target and kill ovarian cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. (213)Bi-C595 is the recommended alpha conjugate for a Phase I clinical trial for ovarian cancer.

Purpose: Mesothelin (MSLN) is highly expressed in high grade serous/ endometrioid ovarian cancers (HGOC). Anetumab ravtansine (AR) is an antibody drug conjugate directed at MSLN antigen with a tubulin polymerization inhibitor. We assessed safety, activity and pharmacokinetics of the combination AR/bevacizumab (Bev) (ARB) versus weekly paclitaxel (wP)/Bev (PB) in patients with platinum resistant/refractory HGOC (prrHGOC).

Background: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) may share biological mechanisms with cancer, including ovarian cancer, through pathways such as chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. However, the relationship between IHD and ovarian cancer subtypes remains unclear. This study used Mendelian randomization (MR) to explore potential causal associations.

Purpose: Rare cancers are defined as those for which there are less than 15 cases per 100,000 in the population annually. While much progress in detection and treatment has been made over the past decade for many rare cancers, less progress has been made in understanding survivorship needs. The objective of this study was to characterize the National Institutes of Health (NIH) cancer survivorship grant portfolio focused on rare cancers and to identify gaps specific to this area of science.

All patients where the cancer treatment has gonadotoxic potential should be referred for oncofertility advice. The effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy on the human ovary can vary from no impact to full-blown premature ovarian failure due to hormonal and follicular depletion. Total contraindications to fertility cryopreservation include acute malignancy that requires immediate lifesaving therapy.

Vacuolar protein sorting 45 (VPS45) has recently been implicated in the development of ovarian cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. However, its role in the onset and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate the function of VPS45 in HCC.
