Between November 1957 and December 1963, 169 premenopausal and 177 postmenopausal patients were included in a randomized clinical trial. In the experimental group ovarian irradiation was given shortly after mastectomy. In the control group ovarian irradiation was planned for the time of first recurrence. The last published follow-up in 1974 [1] revealed a significant effect on disease-free survival both in premenopausal and postmenopausal patients. The latest results from a follow-up conducted in 1989 demonstrate a significant effect also on crude survival in both age groups. As expected, long-term effects are observed exclusively in the premenopausal cohort.

There are many histologic types of gynecologic malignancies. I reviewed three rare ovarian tumor types that have poor prognoses. Ovarian mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a newly described histological type known for its aggressive behavior.

Background: Dermatomyositis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting muscles and skin, often associated with an increased risk of cancer. Specific autoantibodies, including anti-TIF1 (Transcription Intermediary Factor 1), have been linked to this risk. We present a case of dermatomyositis in a male patient positive for anti-TIF1 antibodies, subsequently diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil, a novel association not previously documented.

To analyze the clinical characteristics, treatments, and prognosis of patients with ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumor (JGCT). Clinical and pathological data, and follow-up information of 34 patients diagnosed with JGCT from 2000 to 2021 were collected from the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) database. A retrospective analysis was conducted to summarize the patients' clinical and pathological characteristics, treatments, and prognosis.

Currently, Ovarian Cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecological malignancy. In most patients, it progresses without clinical signs or symptoms, leading to a late diagnosis when it has already spread in the peritoneal cavity as peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). To date, OC PC management is based on cytoreductive surgery to remove the macroscopic disease, followed by chemotherapy.

PARP inhibitors (PARPi) have been shown to improve progression-free survival, particularly in homologous recombination deficient (HRD) ovarian cancers. Identifying patients eligible to PARPi is currently based on next-generation sequencing (NGS), but the persistence of genomic scars in tumors after restoration of HR or epigenetic changes can be a limitation. Functional assays could thus be used to improve this profiling and faithfully identify HRD tumors.
