The aim of the present study was to examine the clinical outcome of ovarian clear cell borderline tumor (CCBT) through pathological review for cases with clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and CCBT between 1984 and 2015 who received surgery at the …
AIM: To examine the clinicopathological features of ovarian seromucinous borderline tumors (SMBTs) and compare them with those of mucinous borderline/atypical proliferative mucinous tumors (MB/APMTs). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with SM…
The clinical significance of coexistence of endometriosis (EM) in ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) has not yet been determined. The aim of the present study was to analyze the correlation of endometriosis with clinicopathological factors …
gene remains to be determined. The aim of the present study was to assess whether BAF250a expression had an impact on the clinical features of CCA. A total of 97 cases of CCA treated at a single institution were enrolled in the present stud…
Our previous study demonstrated that, among ovarian carcinomas, amplification of the MET gene and overexpression of MET specifically and commonly occur in clear-cell adenocarcinoma histology. This study was conducted to address how these al…
AIMS: Actinin-4, encoded by the ACTN4 gene located on chromosome 19q13.2, enhances cell motility by bundling the actin cytoskeleton. We assessed how ACTN4/actinin-4 alterations contribute to the tumorigenesis of ovarian clear-cell adenocarc…
ARID1A is a recently identified tumor suppressor gene that is mutated in ∼50% of ovarian clear-cell carcinomas. This mutation is associated with loss of ARID1A protein expression as assessed by immunohistochemistry. The present study aimed …
Somatic mutations of PIK3CA and ARID1A are the most common genetic alterations observed in ovarian clear cell adenocarcinomas (CCA). In a previous report, we showed that PIK3CA gene mutations and loss of ARID1A expression occur early during…
Clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA), a highly lethal histological subtype of ovarian carcinoma, is a type of human cancer with a high frequency of activating mutations in the PIK3CA gene. In this study, we aimed to determine how these mutations…
AIMS: To identify the key cell-cycle dysregulations in the development of endometriosis-associated ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA). METHODS AND RESULTS: Expression of p27(Kip1)-interacting cell-cycle regulators, such as p27(Kip1) it…
We have previously reported that alterations of p27(Kip1)-interacting cell-cycle proteins frequently occur during the development of endometriosis-associated ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA; Yamamoto et al., Histopathology in press, …
Recent studies have shown that platelet-derived growth factors and their receptors are frequently co-expressed in ovarian cancers. Herein, we investigated the role of the platelet-derived growth factor pathway in the development of ovarian …
We occasionally encountered clear cell adenofibromatous (CCAF) components coexisting in the ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA). To reveal the clinicopathologic significance of CCAF components in CCA, we classified 67 cases of surgicall…
5050 Background: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) can be subdivided into five major histologic types (Serous(SC), Mucinous(MC), Endometrioid(EC), Clear cell(CC), Undifferentiated (UC)). Among them, CC generally has a poor response to combina…
