objective: the goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intraperitoneal (jp) cisplatin as consolidation treatment, in epithelial ovarian cancer patients with pathologically negative surgical reassessment, following first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. methods: this study included 22 patients with figo stage (iic- iv) epithelial ovarian cancer (eoc) which had no evidence of disease a...

primary fallopian tube carcinoma is a rare tumor that histologically and clinically resembles epithelial ovarian cancer. here we introduce a case of tubal carcinoma in a postmenopausal woman. the diagnosis of primary fallopian tube carcinoma is rarely considered preoperatively and is usually first appreciated by the pathologist. because of low frequency of tubal carcinoma, there are few systemi...

background and aims: ovarian cancer is one of most common causes of cancer related women's mortalities. human papilloma virus is a known factor concerning cervical cancer but its role in causing ovarian cancer is not yet verified. a few studies also identified hpv dna in ovarian carcinoma tissues. however, some studies did not detect hpv dna in ovarian carcinoma tissues. in this article, we inv...

background: the activity and toxicity of etoposide in women with recurrent ovarian cancer was evaluated in a case series of women with recurrent ovarian cancer who had measurable disease, methods: all patients had plior platinum-based chemotherapy and developed progressive disease, etoposide was given as 50mg/day for 21 days every 4 weeks until progression of disease or prohibitive toxicity, be...

results: the only significant difference was the older age of the malignant group vs. benign group (p = 0.001) regarding demographic findings. as concerns the clinical symptoms, presence of abdominal discomfort in pre-diagnosis period was the only significant parameter in malignant group (p = 0.001). additionally, data analysis of patients as a total group showed that specificity (96.4%), posit...

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy. The surface epithelial tumor is the most common type of ovarian cancer. Among these, the mucinous tumors account for 10-15% of ovarian tumors. Mucinous ovarian tumors are among the most difficult ovarian neoplasms for surgical pathologists to interpret. Mucinous tumors sometimes coexist with other surface epithelial tumors. Therefore, ma...
