چکیده
JNCI Vol. 104, Issue 9 | May 2, 2012 Ovarian carcinoma has the highest mortality of all gynecological cancers. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2012, about 22 280 new cases of ovarian cancer will be diagnosed, and 15 500 women will die of ovarian cancer in the United States (1). Despite achieving high rates of remission following radical surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy, most women relapse Molecular Scores to Predict Ovarian Cancer Outcomes: A Worthy Goal, but Not Ready for Prime Time

I-12: Optimal Strategy toward Fertility Preservation: In Vivo and In Vitro Post-Thaw Options in Gamete, Embryo and Ovarian Tissue Cryostorage
Background: Oocyte, embryo and ovarian tissue cryopreservation are proposed for fertility preservation to cancer patients who hope to be mothers after getting rid of the disease. Materials and Methods: Embryo cryopreservation is not possible for unmarried single girls without sperm partner and oocyte retrieval is a long time procedure. Thus ovarian tissue cryopreservation is suggested for ferti...
متن کاملThe role of surgery in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer
Nowadays, the standard management of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer is correct surgical staging and optimal tumour cytoreduction followed by platinum and taxane-based chemotherapy. Standard surgical staging consists of peritoneal washings, total hysterectomy, and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, inspection of all abdominal organs and the peritoneal surface, biopsies of suspicious areas or r...

Background: To determine whether random-start controlled ovarian stimulation (COS), in which a stimulation is performed regardless to day of patient’s menstrual cycle, has similar outcomes in comparison to conventional early follicular phase-start COS for cryopreservation of fertilized oocytes in cancer patients. Materials and Methods: This prospective study was performed at two infertility cen...
متن کاملA DNA Repair Pathway–Focused Score for Prediction of Outcomes in Ovarian Cancer Treated With Platinum-Based Chemotherapy
BACKGROUND New tools are needed to predict outcomes of ovarian cancer patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. We hypothesized that a molecular score based on expression of genes that are involved in platinum-induced DNA damage repair could provide such prognostic information. METHODS Gene expression data was extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database for 151 DNA repair ...
