The possible association of 23 HL-A specificities with susceptibility to cancer was investigated in a total of 1996 patients and 906 controls. Cancer patients whose cancers were subdivided into the broad location categories of bladder, breast, cervix, colon, endometrium, lung, lymphoma, mela noma, ovary, prostate, rectum, sarcoma, and stomach showed significant departure in some HL-A antigen fr...

Metastasis from serous carcinoma of the ovary usually occurs in the subdiaphragmatic region. Metastasis to the breast and/or axillary-intramammary lymph node is very rare. It usually occurs in advanced disease, and it is important to distinguish a primary breast cancer from an ovarian cancer metastasis since the management of these two entities is totally different. Here we present a patient wi...

Lynch Syndrome/HNPCC is a syndrome of cancer predisposition linked to inherited mutations of genes participating in post-replicative DNA mismatch repair (MMR). The spectrum of cancer associated with Lynch Syndrome includes tumours of the colorectum, endometrium, ovary, upper gastrointestinal tract and the urothelium although other cancers are rarely described. We describe a family of Lynch Synd...

A patient with extensive and painful chest wall involvement from a metastatic borderline cancer of the ovary was treated with a carboplatin plus paclitaxel chemotherapy regimen. She achieved a rather dramatic improvement of pain control, a significant biochemical response with 75% reduction of the CA-125 antigen level, but only limited radiographic tumor regression. This experience emphasizes t...

There is consensus that two distinct histotypes of epithelial ovarian cancer, i.e. clear-cell carcinoma and mucinous adenocarcinoma, are more resistant to chemotherapy and have a worse prognosis than the papillary serous type [1, 2]. Therefore, gynecological trial groups have been conducting histotypespecific trials for these two entities. In this article, we discuss the updated status of trial...

A case of double cancer (pancreatic and ovarian adenocarcinomas) in a woman suggested by exfoliative and fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is reported. Exfoliative cytology, including immunohistochemical findings of the biliary juice and those of clinical image examinations indicated tubular adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic body. FNA cytologic findings with immunohistochemical observation a...
