Antiangiogenic therapy, although part of standard treatment in ovarian cancer, has variable efficacy. Furthermore, little is known about the prognostic biomarkers and factors influencing angiogenesis ...

Specialist oncological surgery for removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes in BRCA1 and BRCA2 pathogenic variant carriers may reduce primary peritoneal cancer risk to very low levels.

Nov 09, 2020

Risk reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (RRBSO) is highly effective for the prevention of high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) in BRCA1/2 pathogenic variant carriers (PVCs), but does not com...

Extra-abdominal ovarian cancer presenting with breast metastases at diagnosis: Case report and literature review.

Nov 09, 2020

Malignant ovarian tumours are diagnosed at an advanced stage in the majority of cases. However, only a small percentage present as extra-abdominal, non-lymph-node solid metastases, as in the breast, a...

Affinity-free enrichment and mass spectrometry analysis of the ovarian cancer biomarker CA125 (MUC16) from patient-derived ascites.

Nov 05, 2020

Developing a mass spectrometry-based assay for the ovarian cancer biomarker CA125 (MUC16) is a desirable goal, because it may enable detection of molecular regions that are not recognized by antibodie...

General Strategy for Integrated Bioorthogonal Prodrugs: Pt(II)-Triggered Depropargylation Enables Controllable Drug Activation .

Nov 05, 2020

Bioorthogonal decaging reactions for controllable drug activation within complex biological systems are highly desirable yet extremely challenging. Herein, we find a new class of Pt(II)-triggered bioo...

The impact of a cascade testing video on recipients' knowledge, cognitive message processing, and affective reactions: A formative evaluation.

Nov 05, 2020

Cascade genetic testing is essential to clarify cancer risk in families with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC) due to pathogenic variants (PVs) in BRCA1 or BRCA2. To date, data sugg...

Prevalence of germline variants in consensus moderate-to-high-risk predisposition genes to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer in BRCA1/2-negative Brazilian patients.

Nov 02, 2020

This study aimed to identify and classify genetic variants in consensus moderate-to-high-risk predisposition genes associated with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (HBOC), in BRCA1/2-nega...

Pamiparib dose escalation in Chinese patients with non-mucinous high-grade ovarian cancer or advanced triple-negative breast cancer.

Nov 02, 2020

The recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of pamiparib, an investigational PARP1/2 inhibitor, was established as 60 mg twice daily (BID) in a first-in-human (FIH) study (NCT02361723).Chinese patients with ...

Cross-resistance of cisplatin selected cells to anti-microtubule agents: Role of general survival mechanisms.

Nov 02, 2020

Although the first line of therapy for epithelial ovarian cancer typically consists of taxane-platinum combination therapy, many patients develop a platinum-resistant tumor within a year. Several prev...

Under-ascertainment of breast cancer susceptibility gene carriers in a cohort of New Zealand female breast cancer patients.

Oct 29, 2020

Diagnostic screening for pathogenic variants in breast cancer susceptibility genes, including BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, PTEN and TP53, may be offered to New Zealanders from suspected high-risk breast (and ...

Status of pleural lavage cytology in cases of pulmonary metastasis: a single-institution retrospective study.

Oct 29, 2020

In primary lung cancer surgery, intraoperative pleural lavage cytology (PLC) has been identified as a prognostic marker. However, there have been no reports on PLC for pulmonary metastasectomies. Ther...

Paclitaxel increases sensitivity of SKOV3 cells to hyperthermia by inhibiting heat shock protein 27.

Oct 29, 2020

Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a promising treatment strategy for patients with peritoneal metastasis of ovarian cancer. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) play an important role in cell...

ICON 9-an international phase III randomized study to evaluate the efficacy of maintenance therapy with olaparib and cediranib or olaparib alone in patients with relapsed platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer following a response to platinum-based chemotherapy.

Oct 26, 2020

Two novel biological agents-cediranib targeting angiogenesis, and olaparib targeting DNA repair processes-have individually led to an improvement in ovarian cancer control. The aim of ICON9 is to inve...

Inflammatory indexes as predictive factors for platinum sensitivity and as prognostic factors in recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer patients: a MITO24 retrospective study.

Oct 26, 2020

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and systemic inflammatory index (SII) are prognostic factors in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Their predictive value for platinum-sensitivity and their role in ...
