Ovarian cancer side population defines cells with stem cell-like characteristics and Mullerian Inhibiting Substance responsiveness

TL;DR: In the future, individualized therapy must incorporate analysis of the stem cell-like subpopulation of ovarian cancer cells when designing therapeutic strategies for ovarian cancer patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Borderline and malignant mucinous tumors of the ovary. Histologic criteria and clinical behavior.

TL;DR: The findings substantiate the rationale for preserving the contralateral uninvolved ovary in a young woman with a borderline mucinous ovarian tumor and suggest the two should be separated if meaningful data on frequency, behavior, and therapeutic results are to be obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI

Müllerian inhibiting substance: an instructive developmental hormone with diagnostic and possible therapeutic applications.

TL;DR: This review will summarize the current understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying the function of MIS both as a fetal gonadal hormone that causes Müllerian duct regression and as an adult hormone, the roles for which are currently being investigated.

Endometrial carcinoma of the ovary, arising in endometrial tissue in that organ

TL;DR: Many interesting and important problems have presented themselves to clinicians and pathologists, who have appreciated the frequency of ectopic endometrium-like tissue in the pelvis and have had an opportunity to observe the various lesions in the ovaries and other pelvic structures resulting from this tissue.

Adenocarcinoma of the vagina in adolescence. A report of 7 cases including 6 clear-cell carcinomas (so-called mesonephromas).

TL;DR: Seven cases of adenocarcinoma of the vagina occurring in young women 15 to 22 years of age are reported and radical surgery with vaginal replacement and ovarian conservation appears to have been a safe and effective method of therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histogenesis of medullary carcinoma of the thyroid.

TL;DR: It is suggested that medullary carcinoma is also derived from a parafollicular cell and that this origin would resolve the discrepancy between the relatively good prognosis and the apparently undifferentiated structure of this tumour.
