Recent Concepts of Ovarian Carcinogenesis: Type I and Type II
نویسندگان
چکیده
Type I ovarian tumors, where precursor lesions in the ovary have clearly been described, include endometrioid, clear cell, mucinous, low grade serous, and transitional cell carcinomas, while type II tumors, where such lesions have not been described clearly and tumors may develop de novo from the tubal and/or ovarian surface epithelium, comprise high grade serous carcinomas, undifferentiated carcinomas, and carcinosarcomas. The carcinogenesis of endometrioid and clear cell carcinoma (CCC) arising from endometriotic cysts is significantly influenced by the free iron concentration, which is associated with cancer development through the induction of persistent oxidative stress. A subset of mucinous carcinomas develop in association with ovarian teratomas; however, the majority of these tumors do not harbor any teratomatous component. Other theories of their origin include mucinous metaplasia of surface epithelial inclusions, endometriosis, and Brenner tumors. Low grade serous carcinomas are thought to evolve in a stepwise fashion from benign serous cystadenoma to a serous borderline tumor (SBT). With regard to high grade serous carcinoma, the serous tubal intraepithelial carcinomas (STICs) of the junction of the fallopian tube epithelium with the mesothelium of the tubal serosa, termed the "tubal peritoneal junction" (TPJ), undergo malignant transformation due to their location, and metastasize to the nearby ovary and surrounding pelvic peritoneum. Other theories of their origin include the ovarian hilum cells.

T HE EFFECTIV ENESS OF LAPAROSCOPIC ELECTROCAUTERY IN CLOMIP HENE CITRATE RESISTANT PATIENTS WITH P OLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME IN RELATION TO OVARIAN SIZE
121 women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and clomiphene citrate resistance underwent laparoscopic ovarian cautery, 63 patients were type I or typical PCOS with ovarian volume >8mL and 58 patients were type II PCOS with ovarian volume O.05). It therefore appears that the result of laparoscopic ovarian cauterization does not depend on ovary size in clomphene citrate resistant patients with...
متن کاملOvarian Cancer: Opportunity for Targeted Therapy
Ovarian cancer is a common cause of cancer mortality in women with limited treatment effectiveness in advanced stages. The limitation to treatment is largely the result of high rates of cancer recurrence despite chemotherapy and eventual resistance to existing chemotherapeutic agents. The objective of this paper is to review current concepts of ovarian carcinogenesis. We will review existing hy...
متن کاملMolecular pathogenesis and extraovarian origin of epithelial ovarian cancer--shifting the paradigm.
Recent morphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular genetic studies have led to the development of a new paradigm for the pathogenesis and origin of epithelial ovarian cancer based on a dualistic model of carcinogenesis that divides epithelial ovarian cancer into 2 broad categories designated types I and II. Type I tumors comprise low-grade serous, low-grade endometrioid, clear cell and muci...
متن کاملI-11: Cryopreservation and Utilization of Ovarian Tissue: When, Where and How?
In women, around 10% of cancers occur in those younger than 45 years old. Although aggressive chemotherapy/radiotherapy and bone marrow transplantation can cure more than 90% of girls and young women affected by disorders requiring such treatment, the ovaries are very sensitive to cytotoxic drugs, especially to alkylating agents. Therefore, these treatments can result in premature ovarian failu...
