Background: Ovarian cancer (OV) is the most lethal gynecological cancer in women. We aim to develop a generalized, individualized immune prognostic signature that can stratify and predict overall survival for ovarian cancer.
Methods: The gene expression profiles of ovarian cancer tumor tissue samples were collected from 17 public cohorts, including 2777 cases totally. Single sample gene set enrichment (ssGSEA) analysis was used for the immune genes from ImmPort database to develop an immune-based prognostic score for OV (IPSOV). The signature was trained and validated in six independent datasets (n = 519, 409, 606, 634, 415, 194).
Findings: The IPSOV significantly stratified patients into low- and high-immune risk groups in the training set and in the 5 validation sets (HR range: 1.71 [95%CI: 1.32-2.19; P = 4.04 × 10] to 2.86 [95%CI: 1.72-4.74; P = 4.89 × 10]). Further, we compared IPSOV with nine reported ovarian cancer prognostic signatures as well as the clinical characteristics including stage, grade and debulking status. The IPSOV achieved the highest mean C-index (0.625) compared with the other signatures (0.516 to 0.602) and clinical characteristics (0.555 to 0.583). Further, we integrated IPSOV with stage, grade and debulking, which showed improved prognostic accuracy than clinical characteristics only.
Interpretation: The proposed clinical-immune signature is a promising biomarker for estimating overall survival in ovarian cancer. Prospective studies are needed to further validate its analytical accuracy and test the clinical utility.

Purpose: To provide updated guidance regarding neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and primary cytoreductive surgery (PCS) among patients with stage III-IV epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer (epithelial ovarian cancer [EOC]).
Methods: A multidisciplinary Expert Panel convened and updated the systematic review.
Results: Sixty-one studies form the evidence base.
Purpose: Clinical variables alone have limited ability to determine which patients will have recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP). We evaluated the ability of locked multimodal artificial intelligence (MMAI) algorithms trained on prostate biopsy specimens to predict prostate cancer specific mortality (PCSM) and overall survival (OS) among patients undergoing radical prostatectomy with digitized RP specimens.
Materials And Methods: The Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Randomized Controlled Trial randomized subjects from 1993-2001 to cancer screening or control.

Aim: o point out how novel analysis tools of AI can make sense of the data acquired during OL and OC diagnosis and treatment in an effort to help improve and standardize the patient pathway for these disease.
Material And Methods: ultilizing programmed detection of heterogeneus OL and OC habitats through radiomics and correlate to imaging based tumor grading plus a literature review.
Results: new analysis pipelines have been generated for integrating imaging and patient demographic data and identify new multi-omic biomarkers of response prediction and tumour grading using cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) in OL and OC.

Background: Hematologic changes after splenectomy and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) can complicate postoperative assessment of infection. This study aimed to develop a machine-learning model to predict postoperative infection after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and HIPEC with splenectomy.
Methods: The study enrolled patients in the national TriNetX database and at the Johns Hopkins Hospital (JHH) who underwent splenectomy during CRS/HIPEC from 2010 to 2024.
