There is suggestive evidence that inflammation is related to ovarian cancer survival. However, more research is needed to identify inflammation-related factors that are associated with ovarian cancer survival and to …
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a less common subtype accounting for approximately 5% of all epithelial ovarian cancers (EOCs). Clinical experience and research findings confirm the remarkable differences in …
Background and Objectives: To introduce a new technique for fast leakage-proof, intraumbilical, single-incision laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy for huge ovarian masses (>10 cm) Materials and Methods: Seven consecutive, reproductive-aged women, including …
Endometriosis is a common chronic gynecological disease greatly affecting women health. Prior studies have implicated that dysferlin (DYSF) aberration might be involved in the pathogenesis of ovarian endometriosis. In the …
Exosomes are small bilayer-lipid membrane vesicles secreted by living cells that are able to transfer regulatory molecules and genetic information from one cell to another. These vesicles are enriched with …
Diaphragmatic endometriosis is extremely rare. Although endometriosis is considered generally benign, malignant transformation of endometriosis was reported in 1925. Multiple studies have since described clear cell carcinoma (CCC) or endometrioid …
Leiomyomas, also known as uterine fibroids, are the most common benign uterine tumors in women. The most frequently reported symptoms are uterine bleeding and abdominal and/or pelvic pressure; however, most …
During pregnancy, the discovery of adnexal masses remains frequent. Such masses are mostly benign. Ovarian endometrioma is a rare etiology. The diagnosis may be difficult in some situations, such as …
Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissues. Mechanisms of tissue dissemination in endometriosis may be similar to those involved in tumor metastasis. We hypothesize that dysregulation of …
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC), with unique clinical and molecular characteristics compared with other histological types of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), behaves like a distinct entity and has a poorer …
