Twenty patients with advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma who had failed alkylating agent treatment were given cisplatin 60 mg/m2 together with ifosfamide 4 g/m2 and mesna 6 g/m2 every 4 weeks for 4-6 cycles. The overall response rate was 45% and the complete response rate 20%. The median time to disease progression was 9 months and 4 of the 9 responding patients are alive at more than 2 years. WHO Grade 3 or 4 myelosuppression was seen in 7 patients, nephrotoxicity in 4, and encephalopathy in 1 patient. Nausea and vomiting of moderate severity (WHO Grade 3) was seen in the majority of patients. While a dose escalation of 25% of both drugs was possible in 4 patients, myelosuppression became limiting at the higher dose. The combination of cisplatin and ifosfamide is effective in relapsed ovarian cancer even in this group of patients with heavy pretreatment.

In this study, spatial and single-cell transcriptome techniques were used to investigate the role of beta-galactoside alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 1 (ST6GAL1) in promoting peritoneal metastasis in ovarian cancer epithelial cells. We collected single-cell transcriptomic (GSE130000) and spatial transcriptomic datasets (GSE211956) from the Gene Expression Omnibus and RNA-sequencing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas. The Robust Cell Type Decomposition (RCTD) approach was implemented to integrate spatial and single-cell transcriptomic data.

Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) represents a common neoplasm within the female reproductive tract. The prognosis for patients diagnosed at advanced stages is unfavorable, primarily attributable to the absence of reliable screening markers for early detection. An elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) serves as an indicator of host inflammatory response and has been linked to poorer overall survival (OS) across various cancer types; however, its examination in OC remains limited.

Background: Ovarian cancer is one of the top seven causes of cancer deaths. Incidence of ovarian cancer varies by ethnicity, where Asian women demonstrate lower incidence rates than non-Hispanic Blacks and Whites. Survival prediction models for ovarian cancer have been developed for Caucasians and Black populations using national databases; however, whether these models work for Asians is unclear.

Ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors (SCST) are a rare subset of ovarian neoplasms originating from supportive tissues surrounding oocytes. Despite their rarity, prompt diagnosis and management are crucial due to their potential for diverse clinical presentations and the need to optimize patient outcomes. A 25-year-old female patient was initially diagnosed with pyelonephritis but later discovered to have a large right adnexal mass suspected to be a tubo-ovarian abscess.

Aim: To define the indications and outcomes of intraoperative ablation of hepatic malignancies.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study comprises 27 patients (male/female: 19/8; mean age: 56 ± 13) undergoing intraoperative ablation (IOA) of liver tumours between July 2001 and August 2021 for 42 tumours, including colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) (n = 27), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)(n = 14), and ovarian cancer metastasis (n = 1). The mean tumour diameter was 2.
