Journal ArticleDOI
Whole-Genome Allelotyping Identified Distinct Loss-of-Heterozygosity Patterns in Mucinous Ovarian and Appendiceal Carcinomas
Colleen M. Feltmate,Kenneth R. Lee,Michael H. Johnson,John O. Schorge,Kwong Kwok Wong,Ke Hao,William R. Welch,Debra A. Bell,Ross S. Berkowitz,Samuel C. Mok +9 more
TL;DR: Despite histologic similarities between mucinous ovarian carcinomas and metastatic appendiceal carcinomas, they have distinct LOH profiles, which may be used for distinguishing the two diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Presence of talc in pelvic lymph nodes of a woman with ovarian cancer and long-term genital exposure to cosmetic talc.
TL;DR: This description of talc in pelvic lymph nodes of a woman with ovarian cancer and decades of exposure to talc may prompt new studies and offer new insights into the biologic basis for the consistent, but debated, association between talc use and ovarian cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Influence of Lactose Consumption on the Association of Oral Contraceptive Use and Ovarian Cancer Risk
Bernard L. Harlow,Daniel W. Cramer,Judy Geller,Walter C. Willett,Debra A. Bell,William R. Welch +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that, with respect to ovarian cancer, lactose users may be the most likely to benefit from oral contraceptive use and that the benefit may be strongest when oral contraceptives use occurs after age 30 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endosalpingiosis as it relates to tubal, ovarian and serous neoplastic tissues: An immunohistochemical study of tubal and Müllerian antigens
Katharine M. Esselen,Shu-Kay Ng,Yuanyuan Hua,Miranda White,Cynthia A. Jimenez,William R. Welch,Ronny Drapkin,Ross S. Berkowitz,Shu-Wing Ng +8 more
TL;DR: This study provides immunophenotypic evidence that ES is more similar to the nFTE than OSE, strengthening the growing body of evidence that all Müllerian serous carcinomas arise from tubal-like epithelium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic imbalance on chromosome 17 in papillary serous carcinoma of the peritoneum.
TL;DR: The evaluation of allelic loss patterns on chromosome 17 to papillary serous carcinoma of the peritoneum (PSCP) is extended, implicating chromosome 17 as a potential location of genetic events important in the pathogenesis of PSCP as well as ovarian cancer.
