Epidemiologic correlates of ovarian cortical inclusion cysts (CICs) support a dual precursor pathway to pelvic epithelial cancer.
Gynecologic Oncology ·doi:10.1016/j.ygyno.2009.06.032

ObjectiveMany ovarian carcinomas are presumed to arise within ovarian cortical inclusion cysts (CICs). This study examined the frequency of ovarian CICs in relation to epidemiologic risk factors in women with BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA+) mutatio…

A candidate precursor to pelvic serous cancer (p53 signature) and its prevalence in ovaries and fallopian tubes from women with BRCA mutations.
Gynecologic Oncology ·doi:10.1016/j.ygyno.2008.01.012

BackgroundEarly serous carcinomas predominate in the fimbria of women with BRCA mutations (BRCA+). An entity in non-neoplastic mucosa sharing several properties of early serous carcinomas--the "p53 signature"--has been described in the dist…

Tubal and ovarian pathways to pelvic epithelial cancer: a pathological perspective
Histopathology ·doi:10.1111/j.1365-2559.2007.02938.x

Prolongation of ovarian epithelial cancer survival depends on early detection or improved responses to chemotherapy. Gains in either have been modest at best. Understanding the diverse pathogenesis of this disease is critical to early inter…
