Published: September 2021

Epithelial ovarian canceris usually diagnosed in late stage with high recurrence rate and fatality. Long term survival in late recurrence is not very common. We present a case of 66 year woman who had come in early stage of epithelial ovarian cancer. She survived despite having recurrence after 13 years following staging laparotomy with TAH with BSO with infracolic omentectomy and six cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy in 2007. She underwent secondary cytoreduction twice, first in 2013 and second in 2020 after she developed large pelvic mass. First secondary cytoreduction histopathology was inclusion cyst and second time it serous adencarcinoma grade III consistent with the histopathology of 2007. Both times she received chemotherapy after secondary cytoreduction including neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in 2020. She is doing well on follow up and is on oral etoposide. Keywords: Chemotherapy; epithelial ovarian cancer; late recurrence; secondary cytoreduction.

Background: LIGHT (oLaparib In HRD-Grouped Tumor types; NCT02983799) prospectively evaluated olaparib treatment in patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer (PSROC) assigned to cohorts by known BRCA mutation (BRCAm) and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) status: germline BRCAm (gBRCAm), somatic BRCAm (sBRCAm), HRD-positive non-BRCAm, and HRD-negative. At the primary analysis, olaparib treatment demonstrated activity across all cohorts, with greatest efficacy in terms of objective response rate and progression-free survival observed in the g/sBRCAm cohorts. The authors report final overall survival (OS).

Deep Learning Radiomics Nomogram Based on MRI for Differentiating between Borderline Ovarian Tumors and Stage I Ovarian Cancer: A Multicenter Study.

Department of Radiology, the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Suzhou Municipal Hospital, Gusu School, Nanjing Medical University, Suzhou, Jiangsu, China (X.W., X.C., Y.C., S.C., M.W.). Electronic address:

Rationale And Objectives: To develop and validate a deep learning radiomics nomogram (DLRN) based on T2-weighted MRI to distinguish between borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) and stage I epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) preoperatively.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective multicenter study enrolled 279 patients from three centers, divided into a training set (n = 207) and an external test set (n = 72). The intra- and peritumoral radiomics analysis was employed to develop a combined radiomics model.

Background: The "Healthy China" initiative, along with advancements in technology for cancer diagnosis and treatment, has significantly enhanced outcomes for patients with gynecologic tumors. The trends of late marriage and delayed childbirth have led to an increasing number of women diagnosed with gynecologic cancers who are seeking fertility preservation in China. This issue is critical yet often overlooked in clinical practice.

Background: The ovarian cancer (OC) preclinical detectable phase (PCDP), defined as the interval during which cancer is detectable prior to clinical diagnosis, remains poorly characterised. We report exploratory analyses from the United Kingdom Collaborative Trial of Ovarian Cancer Screening (UKCTOCS).

Methods: In UKCTOCS between Apr-2001 and Sep-2005, 101,314 postmenopausal women were randomised to no screening (NS) and 50,625 to annual multimodal screening (MMS) (until Dec-2011) using serum CA-125 interpreted by the Risk of Ovarian Cancer Algorithm (ROCA).

Ovarian Carcinomas: Clinicopathologic and Molecular Features With Comments on 2014 FIGO Staging.

According to histopathology and molecular genetics, there are 5 major subtypes of ovarian carcinomas: high-grade serous (70%), endometrioid (10%), clear cell (10%), mucinous (3% to 4%), and low-grade serous (<5%) carcinomas. These tumors, which constitute over 95% of cases, represent distinct diseases with different prognoses and therapy. This review outlines contemporary advances in molecular pathology, which have expanded our knowledge of the biology of epithelial ovarian cancer and are also important to patient management.
