TL;DR: In this paper, a double-blind placebo-controlled phase II study was done to assess the efficacy of a prophylactic quadrivalent vaccine targeting the human papillomavirus (HPV) types associated with 70% of cervical cancers (types 16 and 18) and with 90% of genital warts (types 6 and 11).
Journal ArticleDOI
The origin and pathogenesis of epithelial ovarian cancer: a proposed unifying theory.
Robert J. Kurman,Ie Ming Shih +1 more
TL;DR: It has been proposed that serous tumors arise from the implantation of epithelium (benign or malignant) from the fallopian tube and preliminary data suggest that mucinous and transitional (Brenner) tumors arose from transitional-type epithelial nests at the tubal-mesothelial junction by a process of metaplasia.
