Aim: This study aims to evaluate the incidence of postoperative ileus (POI) following cytoreductive surgery in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients and its impact on anastomotic leakage occurrence and postoperative complications.
Methods: A total of 357 surgeries were performed on 346 ovarian cancer patients between 1/2010 and 12/2020 at our institution. The postoperative course regarding paralytic ileus, anastomotic leakage, and postoperative complications was analyzed by Fisher's exact test and through ordinal logistic regression.
Results: A total of 233 patients (65.3%) returned to normal gastrointestinal functions within 3 days after surgery. A total of 123 patients (34.5%) developed POI. There were 199 anastomoses in 165 patients and 24 leakages (12.1%). Postoperative antibiotics ( 0.001), stoma creation ( 0.0001), and early start of laxatives ( 0.0048) significantly decreased POI, while anastomoses in general ( 0.0465) and especially low anastomoses ( 0.0143) showed increased POI rates. Intraoperative positive fluid excess >5,000 cc was associated with a higher risk for POI ( 0.0063), anastomotic leakage ( 0.0254), and severe complications ( 0.0012).
Conclusion: Postoperative antibiotics, an early start with laxatives, and stoma creation were associated with reduced POI rates. Patients with anastomoses showed an increased risk for POI. Severe complications, anastomotic leakages, and POI were more common in the case of intraoperative fluid balance exceeding 5,000 cc.

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.
Targeting on the PI3K/mTOR: a potential treatment strategy for clear cell ovarian carcinoma.

Purpose: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma is a highly malignant gynecological tumor characterized by a high rate of chemotherapy resistance and poor prognosis. The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is well-known to be closely related to the progression of various malignancies, and recent studies have indicated that this pathway may play a critical role in the progression and worsening of OCCC.
Methods: In this study, we investigated the combined effects of WX390, a dual inhibitor of PI3K/mTOR, and cisplatin on OCCC through both in vitro and in vivo experiments to further elucidate their therapeutic effects.

Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 T (UBE2T) is a crucial E2 enzyme in the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), playing a significant role in the ubiquitination of proteins and influencing a wide range of cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, invasion, and metabolism. Its overexpression has been implicated in various malignancies, such as lung adenocarcinoma, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, and ovarian cancer, where it correlates strongly with disease progression. UBE2T facilitates tumorigenesis and malignant behaviors by mediating essential functions such as DNA repair, apoptosis, cell cycle regulation, and the activation of oncogenic signaling pathways.
