Chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer has progressed over the past several decades with the introduction of cytotoxic agents. Various methods, including single agents, combination therapy and changes in the method of administration, have been validated in many clinical trials and have been combined in an attempt to improve the prognosis of advanced ovarian cancer. In recent years, molecular-targeted agents have been added to cytotoxic agents as a treatment option for maintenance therapy; however, their efficacy has been limited, and further development of treatment options is expected. The advent of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors has considerably improved prognosis and has affected treatment strategies for advanced ovarian cancer over the past few years. With the addition of the recently introduced immune checkpoint inhibitors, future treatment strategies for advanced ovarian cancer may become more complex. In this review, we introduce the latest advances in chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer and discuss future perspectives.

Objective: To provide up-to-date European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) guidelines for staging and follow-up of patients with ovarian cancer (OC).
Methods: Twenty-one experts, members of the female pelvis imaging ESUR subcommittee from 19 institutions, replied to 2 rounds of questionnaires regarding imaging techniques and structured reporting used for pre-treatment evaluation of OC patients. The results of the survey were presented to the other authors during the group's annual meeting.

The mortality rate of ovarian cancer (OC) remains the highest among female gynecological malignancies. Advanced age is the highest risk factor for OC development and progression, yet little is known about the role of the aged tumor microenvironment (TME). We conducted RNA sequencing and lipidomic analysis of young and aged gonadal adipose tissue from rat xenografts before and after OC formation.

Purpose: Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a transcription factor that is essential for the survival and immune sequestration of cancer cells. We conducted a phase 1 study of TTI‑101, a first-in-class, selective small-molecule inhibitor of STAT3, in patients with advanced metastatic cancer.
Patients And Methods: Patients were treated with TTI-101 orally twice daily in 28-day cycles at 4 dose levels (DLs): 3.
