Objective: Our objective was to review the published experiences of the use of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in the treatment of advanced and recurrent ovarian cancer with a focus on survival outcomes.

Methods: A search of the PubMed database (2008-2014) for articles specifically addressing the topic "HIPEC and ovarian cancer" was performed. We found a total of 22 publications that included 1450 patients.

Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) is a B-cell neoplasm whose molecular pathogenesis remains fundamentally unexplained, requiring more precise diagnostic markers. Previous molecular studies have revealed 7q loss and mutations of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), B-cell receptor (BCR) and Notch signalling genes. We performed whole-exome sequencing in a series of SMZL cases.

The patient recognizes ingestion several minutes before the test.
