Endometriosis is linked to an increased risk of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), especially clear cell and endometrioid subtypes. The extent and prognostic significance of this link are still not fully …
Early diagnosis of ovarian cancer remains one of the most important unmet needs in gynecologic oncology because survival is strongly stage-dependent and most patients still present with disseminated disease. Conventional …
Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Increasing epidemiological and molecular evidence indicates that it may represent a precursor condition for a subset …
Although endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) is considered a separate clinical entity, no specific prognostic biomarkers aid in its management. This has, therefore, been among the factors hindering the development of …
Adenomyosis often coexists with endometriosis, which primarily involves the ovary and can lead to endometriosis‑associated ovarian cancers, most commonly endometrioid and clear‑cell carcinomas. Ovarian squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) arising in …
While epidemiological studies have associated endometriosis with ovarian cancer risk, the causal relationships across anatomic subtypes and histotypes remain undefined. Using two-sample Mendelian randomization with 84 genetic instruments (F-statistic = …
Episiotomy is a perineal incision enlarging the vaginal opening during labor, preventing severe perineal/vaginal/ano-rectal lacerations. We performed a systematic literature review (PRISMA guidelines; Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science databases) …
This study aimed to describe 2 types of endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer: those with transitional elements (atypical endometriosis and borderline tumors) termed endometriosis-correlated or incidental benign endometriosis vs ovarian cancer cases …
Ovarian squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare entity among primary ovarian cancers. This type of cancer typically originates from the transformation of mature cystic teratomas, commonly known as dermoid …
