Demographic and Clinical Characteristics of Mucinous Epithelial Ovarian Cancer, and Survival Following a Mucinous Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Diagnosis
Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in the United States, and contrib‐ utes significantly to the worldwide cancer burden [1]. The lack of gynecologic-specific symptoms and effective early detection methods for ovarian cancer leads to a preponder‐ ance of late-stage diagnoses. Ovarian cancer is a surgically-staged and treated disease, and the application of appropriate, gui...
متن کاملMucinous epithelial ovarian carcinoma.
Mucinous tumours involving the ovary may be benign, borderline, or malignant. Malignant tumours may be primary or metastatic. Differentiation between primary and metastatic involvement of the ovary is critical for optimal patient management. Even among skilled pathologists, this distinction can be problematic, as can the distinction between borderline ovarian tumour of intestinal type and well-...
متن کاملCigarette smoking and increased risk of mucinous epithelial ovarian cancer.
Several studies have reported that cigarette smoking is associated with an increased risk of mucinous ovarian cancer, but other studies have failed to find such a relation. Using data from the Case-Control Surveillance Study, begun in four US cities in 1976, the authors conducted a case-control study (1976-2001) to examine the association between cigarette smoking and the risk of ovarian cancer...
متن کاملMucinous ovarian cancer.
Mucinous epithelial ovarian cancer (mEOC) accounts for approximately 10% of EOCs. Patients presenting with early-stage disease have an excellent prognosis, however, those with advanced disease have a poor outcome with relative resistance to standard ovarian cancer chemotherapy. Molecular and genetic studies demonstrate differences between mucinous and serous EOC supporting the concept that thes...
متن کاملComparison of advanced stage mucinous epithelial ovarian cancer and serous epithelial ovarian cancer with regard to chemosensitivity and survival outcome: a matched case-control study
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare clinicopathologic characteristics, surgery outcomes and survival outcomes of patients with stage III and IV mucinous epithelial ovarian cancer (mEOC) and serous epithelial ovarian carcinoma (sEOC). METHODS Patients who had surgery for advanced stage (III or IV) mEOC were evaluated retrospectively and defined as the study group. Women with sEOC wh...
