TL;DR: Whether PA levels after diagnosis declined from prediagnosis levels and whether any changes in PA varied by disease stage, adjuvant treatment, patient age, or body mass index (BMI) in 812 patients with incident breast carcinoma is investigated.

TL;DR: The roles of secondary surgical cytoreduction and bevacizumab in this population of women with ovarian cancer with recurrent measurable or evaluable epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer, and a clinical complete response to primary platinum-based chemotherapy were explored.

TL;DR: The goal of this review is to provide an update of recent research, with a focus on epidemiologic studies on the link between obesity and cancer, and to briefly review hypothesized mechanisms underlying the relationship between Obesity and cancer.

TL;DR: Clinically significant depression and anxiety may be more prevalent in patients with EOC than previously reported and future studies of screening for and treating psychological distress are being designed to improve QOL in these women.

TL;DR: Overall, the general patterns of psychosocial adjustment and QOL are similar among the three surgery groups and the level for most variables returned to baseline levels or higher.
