Published experiences related to the prognostic relevance of negative or positive FDG PET/CT in patients treated for ovarian cancer for progression-free survival and overall survival are typically heterogeneous retrospective analyses. Several points have been well defined, these are as follows: (a) there is a correlation between FDG tumor uptake and prognosis; (b) ovarian cancer patients treated by neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy can be divided into responders with reduction in tumor FDG uptake during and after treatment and nonresponders where tumor FDG uptake remains stable or increases after treatment;

Evaluating ovarian cancer risk-reducing salpingectomy acceptance: a survey.
Cancer Res Commun
January 2025
University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
With evidence that salpingectomy is effective in preventing high grade serous carcinoma, it is time to consider offering this procedure to people at higher-than-average lifetime risk for ovarian cancer, despite not having a pathogenic genetic variant that increases risk for ovarian cancer. This targeted approach has potential to be effective at reducing ovarian cancer incidence, and unlike opportunistic salpingectomy is focused on people with an increased lifetime risk of ovarian cancer. However, the acceptability of this approach within the population of potential patients remains unknown.

The aim of this study was to present a nationwide survey on the specialist's attitudes towards stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) combined with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) with oligometastatic/oligoprogressive/oligorecurrent ovarian cancer (oMPR-OC) patients. The 19-item questionnaire was developed by specialists and distributed online. Replies were stratified by categories and analyzed using descriptive statistics.

Curr Pharm Des
January 2025
Department of Pharmacy, Delhi Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research University, New Delhi, India.
Background: The metal oxide nanoparticles possess unique properties such as biological compatibility, superior reactivity, and capacity to develop reactive oxygen species, due to this they have drawn significant interest in cancer treatment. The various MONPs such as cerium oxide, Copper oxide, Iron oxide, Titanium dioxide, and Zinc oxide have been investigated for several types of cancers including brain, breast, cervical, colon, leukemia, liver, lung, melanoma, ovarian, and prostate cancers. However, traditional physiochemical synthetic methods for MONPs commonly include toxic materials, a major concern that raises questions regarding their biocompatibility and safety.

Department of Gynecology, Affiliated Xingtai People Hospital of Hebei Medical University, China.
Introduction: Ovarian Cancer (OC) was known for its high mortality rate among gynecological malignancies, often resulting in a poor prognosis. This study sought to identify prognostic necroptosis-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) (NRlncRNAs) with prognostic potential and to construct a reliable risk prediction model for OC patients.
Method: The transcriptome and clinic data were sourced from TCGA and GTEx databases.
We report a case showing that lorlatinib is effective in treating EML4-ALK-positive low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSO) with intracranial metastasis. This may be the first clinical evidence of LGSO benefit from ALK inhibitors, to provide evidence for the use of ALK inhibitors in more ovarian cancer patients with EML4-ALK fusion and promoting new ideas for the study of EML4-ALK targets in ovarian cancer.
