The association of ovarian malignancy with pregnancy is rare; accounting for 3-6% of ovarian masses of which malignant germ cell tumors represent the type most frequently associated with pregnancy, whereas the incidence of epithelial ovarian cancer is only 1/12,000 to 1/50,000 of pregnancies. The diagnosis and management of ovarian cancer in pregnancy remain poorly codified because of the rarity of cases and the limited data available on this pathology. We report here the case of a 45-year-old woman with a large ovarian mucinous adenocarcinoma diagnosed during pregnancy, identified by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. The patient was treated by surgical resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel with a follow-up of 36 months, she is in complete remission.

Objective: To investigate the factors influencing recurrence following laparoscopic conservative surgery in patients with ovarian endometriosis (OEM) and to develop a predictive model.

Methods: In this retrospective study, the clinical data from 212 OEM patients who underwent laparoscopic conservative surgery at Suzhou Ninth People's Hospital from May 2013 to December 2021 were meticulously reviewed. According to disease recurrence over a 2-year follow-up period, the patients were divided into a recurrence group and a non-recurrence group.

Objectives: Given the ongoing challenges regarding the specific roles of viral infections in cancer etiology, or as cancer co-morbidities, this study assessed potential associations between anti-viral, T-cell receptor (TCR) complementarity domain region-3 (CDR3s), and clinical outcomes for ovarian cancer.

Methods: TCR CDR3s were isolated from ovarian cancer specimens for a determination of which patients had anti-viral CDR3s and whether those patients had better or worse outcomes.

Results: Analyses revealed that patients with exact matches of anti-Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) CDR3 amino acid sequences exhibited better outcomes for both overall and disease-specific survival.
