Peritoneal serous papillary carcinoma, a phenotypic variant of familial ovarian cancer: implications for ovarian cancer screening

Article Abstract:

A variant of ovarian cancer called peritoneal serous papillary carcinoma may not be detected using typical screening methods. In a study of seven women ultimately diagnosed with this cancer, only two had been detected by CA 125 screening and two had been detected by ultrasound imaging. Only three of the seven women had any symptoms up to 16 months after screening. Three of the women had a BRCA1 gene mutation.

Role of lymphadenectomy in the management of grossly apparent advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer

Article Abstract:

A retrospective study was conducted to determine the factors related to the performance of lymph node assessment and its impact on prognosis in advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer. Removal of obviously involved lymph nodes in patients with residual disease near 1 cm and lymphadenectomy for patients with complete or near complete resection of abdominal disease are recommended.

Tuberculous peritonitis: part of the differential diagnosis in ovarian cancer

Article Abstract:

Diagnostic specimens from women with suspected ovarian cancer should be carefully examined to make sure they don't have tuberculous peritonitis. This disease can mimic ovarian cancer, as is shown by the case of a 33-year-old woman who was mistakenly diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
