The surgical, histopathological characteristics, and survival outcome of ovarian clear cell carcinoma: a retrospective case series sharing the experience of a tertiary cancer centre
Translational cancer research ·doi:10.21037/tcr-24-83

BACKGROUND: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a rare and distinct subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). It is unique in several biological aspects. This study analyzes the clinicopathological features and survival outcome of pati…

Angiogenesis inhibitors for the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer.
The Cochrane database of systematic reviews ·doi:10.1002/14651858.cd007930.pub3

BackgroundMany women, and other females, with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) develop resistance to conventional chemotherapy drugs. Drugs that inhibit angiogenesis (development of new blood vessels), essential for tumour growth, control ca…

An integrated single-cell reference atlas of the human endometrium
·doi:10.1101/2023.11.03.564728

Abstract The human endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus, exhibits complex, dynamic changes throughout the menstrual cycle in response to ovarian hormones. Aberrant response of endometrial cells to hormones is associated with multiple…

Ovarian cancer survival by stage, histotype, and pre-diagnostic lifestyle factors, in the prospective UK Million Women Study.
Cancer epidemiology ·doi:10.1016/j.canep.2021.102074

BackgroundOvarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer mortality in UK women. Ovarian cancer survival varies by disease stage at diagnosis, but evidence is mixed on the effect of tumour histological type (histotype) and other factors…

Risk factors for ovarian cancer by histological phenotype in the Million Women Study

There is growing evidence that the different histological types of ovarian cancer have diverse origins. Many high-grade serous tumours (the most common type) are hypothesised to arise from the fallopian tubes, while endometrioid and clear c…

Tubal ligation and incidence of 26 site-specific cancers in the Million Women Study.
British journal of cancer ·doi:10.1038/bjc.2016.80

BackgroundTubal ligation is known to be associated with a reduction in ovarian cancer risk. Associations with breast, endometrial and cervical cancers have been suggested. We investigated associations for 26 site-specific cancers in a large…

Tubal ligation and ovarian cancer risk in a large cohort: Substantial variation by histological type.
International journal of cancer ·doi:10.1002/ijc.29856

Histopathological and molecular studies suggest that different histological subtypes (histotypes) of ovarian cancer have different aetiologies. Few studies have been large enough to explore reliably the effect of tubal ligation (sterilizati…
