Characterizing the Cross-sectional Approach to Investigate the Prevalence of Tissue BRCA1/2 Mutations...
Ovarian NeoplasmsThis is a multi-center, observational study in Japan. Patients with newly diagnosed FIGO stage III - IV advanced OC will be enrolled sequentially. In this study, data of 200 subjects will be collected at approximately 20 sites in Japan. To reduce regional bias of study sites, the number of enrolled patients per site will be capped
Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Protein P16 Expression in Ovarian Germ Cell Tumors.
Ovarian NeoplasmsGerm Cell Tumors1 moreOvarian germ cell tumors (OGCTs) constitute 10% of ovarian tumors in Egypt and mainly affect young females. Teratomas are the most common type.Most of teratomas is benign. However, it is liable for malignant transformation. Others are malignant including dysgerminoma, immature teratoma, yolk sac tumor,.etc and accounts 1-1.5% of cancers in young females. The pathogenesis of OGCTs is not clearly understood. P16 is a member of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors. It arrests the cell cycle in G1 phase, so it is known as a tumor suppressor protein.P16 immunohistochemical(IHC) expression has been widely investigated in different cancers. Its IHC expression is either absent or overexpressed. Overexpression of p16 is documented in Human Papilloma Virus related endocervical neoplasms and High grade squamous intraepithelial lesions of the vulvovaginal region.Absence of p16 expression is detected in multiple cancers such as Lung cancer, colorectal cancer and lymphoma. P16 IHC expression in OGCTs is poorly investigated. One study suggests that absent p16 is involved in proliferation of malignant OGCTs via molecular assessment.Another study suggested that decrease P16 is involved in malignant transformation of Mature cystic teratoma to squamous cell carcinoma.However, Previous studies are still limited and recommended further studies to confirm its results. As the role of altered P16 protein in OGCTs is not widely investigated, we hypothesized that abnormal P16 expression may be involved in its pathogenesis and germ stem cell proliferation.This will give more information about molecular pathways of germ stem cell proliferation to give a hope for CDK inhibitors as novel target therapies in the management of OGCTs.
Evaluation and Implementation of New Biomarkers and Algorithms for Diagnosis of Ovarian Cysts/Tumors...
Ovarian NeoplasmsDiagnoses Disease2 moreThis study evaluates the biomarkers CA125 and HE4 and the algorithms RMI and ROMA on a normal population in the western region of Sweden. The aim is to improve diagnosis of ovarian cancer. If the investigators observe a clear improvement in the early diagnosis of EOC, the investigators aim to implement the best strategy for all patients with suspected pelvic tumor mass in the western region of Sweden.
An INternational Frontline Ovarian Cancer Real World Management Study
Ovarian NeoplasmsThe current study aims to analyze the existing secondary databases from Korea (Sungkyunkwan University, Samsung Medical Center, Seoul), Taiwan (National Taiwan University, Chang-Gung Medical Foundation Linkou Branch and Mackay Memorial Hospital), and Australia (Australian Ovarian Cancer Study [AOCS]) to leverage the already available data in the real-world setting to review the current standard of care in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer cases. The collected data will help provide the required information for assessing the unmet treatment needs in this patient group. The data will also provide the needed information to support any reimbursement activity needed for future novel therapies in this patient group
Low Grade Serous Ovarian Carcinoma and Uterine Involvement : Should Hysterectomy be the Rule
Serous Ovarian CarcinomaLow Grade Serous Ovarian CarcinomaInvestigators studied a population of 28 low grade serous ovarian carcinoma treated in Hospices civils de Lyon between 2000 and 2022. The primary objective is to determinate the rate of myometrial involvement by the cancer at pathology examination. Then, investigators compared patients with or without myometrial involvement : survival parameters, predictive factors of myometrial involvement (age, CA 125 level, surgery characteristics, pathology characteristics).
Clinical Effect Evaluation of Laparoscopic Surgery for Ovarian Benign Tumors by Different Approaches...
LaparoscopeMalignant Ovarian Tumor1 moreMain purpose: To compare the intraoperative and postoperative recovery of laparoscopic surgery for ovarian benign tumors through different approaches; Secondary objective: Will vNOTES increase the risk of cesarean section during pregnancy and affect the quality of sexual life after surgery.
Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy Versus Triweekly Chemotherapy
Intraperitoneal ChemotherapyBevacizumab1 moreThe combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin is the standard first-line chemotherapy for ovarian cancer as recommended by the NCCN Guidelines for Epithelial Ovarian Cancer, and is conventionally given via intravenous route every three weeks. The addition of target therapy (bevacizumab) has shown to improve progression free survival but not overall survival. Several trials have also demonstrated a clinically significant survival advantage associated with intraperitoneal chemotherapy compared to intravenous chemotherapy, and the best outcomes are consistently seen for patients who have no residual disease. This study aims to compare triweekly chemotherapy with bevacizumab versus intraperitoneal chemotherapy in patients with advanced stage ovarian cancer.
Olaparib Expanded Access Program for BRCA Mutated Platinum Sensitive Relapsed High Grade Epithelial...
PSR Ovarian Cancer With a BRCA MutationThis is a single-arm, open label, expanded access program to provide access to olaparib tablets for relapsed high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer patients (including patients with primary peritoneal and / or fallopian tube cancer) with BRCA mutations (documented mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 that is predicted to be deleterious or suspected deleterious [known or predicted to be detrimental/lead to loss of function]) who have responded following platinum based chemotherapy. Patients may continue to receive study treatment until disease progression as assessed by the investigator according to local standard clinical practice or any other discontinuation criteria are met.
Ex Vivo Evaluation of the Interest of the Association of Platinum With a Molecule BH3-mimetic ABT-737...
Ovarian CancerThe aim of the study is to quantify the ex vivo induction of apoptosis by ABT-737 + association platinum in samples exposed and demonstrate the value of this combination compared to the agents used alone.
Collecting Tumor Samples From Patients With Gynecological Tumors
Borderline Ovarian Clear Cell TumorBorderline Ovarian Serous Tumor85 moreThis laboratory study is collecting tumor tissue and blood samples from patients with gynecologic tumors. Collecting and storing samples of tumor tissue and blood from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help in the study of cancer.
