New insights in the pathophysiology of ovarian cancer and implications for screening and prevention.

TL;DR: New evidence explains difficulties in ovarian cancer screening and helps in forming new recommendations for ovarian cancer risk evaluation and prophylactic treatments.

Tubal origin of ‘ovarian’ low-grade serous carcinoma

TL;DR: In this paper, the origins of low-grade serous carcinomas (tubal versus ovarian) were investigated by comparatively evaluating the morphologic (secretory and ciliated cell distribution) and immunophenotypic (using antibodies to PAX8, tubulin, calretinin, and Ki67) attributes of its putative precursor lesions, the normal tubal epithelium and the overt malignancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

A brief review of the management of platinum-resistant-platinum-refractory ovarian cancer.

TL;DR: In recurrent platinum-resistant/platinum-refractory EOC, sequential single-agent salvage chemotherapy is superior to multiagent chemotherapy, and no preferred sequence of single agents is recommended.

Estrogen Biosynthesis and Action in Ovarian Cancer

TL;DR: The review gives an overview on ovarian cancer subtypes and explains the role of estrogen in ovarian cancer, where enzymes active to synthesize and metabolize estrogens are described and strategies to target these pathways are discussed.

MICU1 drives glycolysis and chemoresistance in ovarian cancer

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the gatekeeper of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake, Mitochondrial Calcium Uptake 1 (MICU1/CBARA1) drives aerobic glycolysis in ovarian cancer, and a significant correlation between pPDH (inactive form of PDH) expression with poor prognosis is observed.

Cancer statistics, 2013

TL;DR: Overall cancer death rates have declined 20% from their peak in 1991 to 2009 and can be accelerated by applying existing cancer control knowledge across all segments of the population, with an emphasis on those groups in the lowest socioeconomic bracket and other underserved populations.

Cancer statistics, 2011: the impact of eliminating socioeconomic and racial disparities on premature cancer deaths.

TL;DR: Overall cancer death rates decreased in all racial/ethnic groups in both men and women from 1998 through 2007, with the exception of American Indian/Alaska Native women, in whom rates were stable.

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.

Incessant ovulation—a factor in ovarian neoplasia ?

Mahmoud F. Fathalla

TL;DR: The hypothesis that the extravagant and mostly purposeless ovulations in the human female may have a contributing role in neoplasia of the surface epithelium of the ovary requires additional consideration.
