Ovarian cancer statistics, 2018.

TL;DR: Progress in reducing ovarian cancer incidence and mortality can be accelerated by reducing racial disparities and furthering knowledge of etiology and tumorigenesis to facilitate strategies for prevention and early detection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epithelial ovarian cancer: Evolution of management in the era of precision medicine

TL;DR: To improve survival in this aggressive disease, access to appropriate evidence‐based care is requisite and individualized precision medicine will require prioritizing clinical trials of innovative treatments and refining predictive biomarkers that will enable selection of patients who would benefit from chemotherapy, targeted agents, or immunotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Invasive Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Survival by Histotype and Disease Stage.

TL;DR: The need to recognize ovarian cancer as a set of distinct diseases and not a single entity highlights the need to effectively target the unique features of each histotype to reduce ovarian cancer mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Iron addiction: a novel therapeutic target in ovarian cancer

TL;DR: The iron dependence of ovarian cancer TICs renders them exquisitely sensitive in vivo to agents that induce iron-dependent cell death (ferroptosis) as well as iron chelators, and thus creates a metabolic vulnerability that can be exploited therapeutically.

Dose-Response Association of CD8(+) Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes and Survival Time in High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer

Ellen L. Goode, +112 more
- 01 Dec 2017 - 
TL;DR: This study demonstrates the histotype-specific nature of immune infiltration and provides definitive evidence for a dose-response relationship between CD8+ TILs and HGSOC survival and suggests that understanding factors that drive infiltration will be the key to unraveling outcome heterogeneity in this cancer.

Integrated genomic analyses of ovarian carcinoma

Debra A. Bell, +285 more
- 30 Jun 2011 - 
TL;DR: It is reported that high-grade serous ovarian cancer is characterized by TP53 mutations in almost all tumours (96%); low prevalence but statistically recurrent somatic mutations in nine further genes including NF1, BRCA1,BRCA2, RB1 and CDK12; 113 significant focal DNA copy number aberrations; and promoter methylation events involving 168 genes.

Integrated genomic analyses of ovarian carcinoma

Daphne W. Bell, +261 more
TL;DR: The Cancer Genome Atlas project has analyzed messenger RNA expression, microRNA expression, promoter methylation and DNA copy number in 489 high-grade serous ovarian adenocarcinomas and the DNA sequences of exons from coding genes in 316 of these tumours as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

The origin and pathogenesis of epithelial ovarian cancer: a proposed unifying theory.

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.

Ovarian Tumorigenesis : A Proposed Model Based on Morphological and Molecular Genetic Analysis

TL;DR: This model of carcinogenesis reconciles the relationship of borderline tumors to invasive carcinoma and provides a morphological and molecular framework for studies aimed at elucidating the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer.
