Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a distinct epithelial ovarian cancer subtype with unique molecular features, and a notable resistance to conventional platinum-based chemotherapy in advanced disease. Key molecular hallmarks include fr…
ObjectiveOvarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is associated with chemoresistance. Limited data exists regarding the efficacy of targeted therapies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and bevacizumab, and the role of secondary cytoredu…
Clear-cell carcinomas (CCC) arising from the gynecologic tract (including from the ovary, endometrium, cervix, vulva, or vagina) represent rare but clinically significant entities with intriguing overlapping characteristics. Epidemiological…
BackgroundThe optimal treatment and molecular landscape of recurrent clear cell carcinoma of the vulva (VCCC) are unknown. No reported data exist regarding the efficacy of anti-programmed death 1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint inhibition in VCCC.…
The Asian Society of Gynecologic Oncology International Workshop 2018 on gynecologic oncology was held in the Ajou University Hospital, Suwon, Korea on the 24th to 25th August 2018. The workshop was an opportunity for Asian doctors to discu…
Ovarian clear cell carcinomas (OCCCs) account for about 5-13% of all epithelial ovarian carcinomas in Western populations. It is characterised by resistance to conventional platinum-based chemotherapy, and new therapeutic strategies are urg…
Ovarian clear cell adenocarcinomas (OCCAs) account for <5% of all ovarian malignancies. Compared to other epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) subtypes, when at an advanced stage, they are associated with a poorer prognosis and are relatively re…
