Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1598: No Racial Disparities Observed Using Point-of-Care Genetic Counseling and Testing for Endometrial and Ovarian Cancer in a Diverse Patient Population: A Retrospective Cohort Study
gaux J. Kanis We investigated genetic counseling and testing rates for patients with gynecologic malignancy at a tertiary care center with a large minority population. Our retrospective cohort included newly diagnosed epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, peritoneal, or endometrial cancer patients between January 2014 and June 2022. For endometrial cancer, 373 patients were identified. A total of 207 (55%) patients were screened using mismatch repair immunohistochemistry (MMR IHC). A total of 82 (40%) had MMR deficiencies on IHC. Of these, 63 (77%) received genetic counseling. A total of 62 (98%) underwent genetic testin...

The karyometric signature is altered in fallopian tubes with serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma
CONCLUSION: These data demonstrate an abnormal karyometric signature in STICs that may extend beyond the STIC, potentially providing an opportunity for early detection of fallopian tube neoplasia.PMID:38640774 | DOI:10.1016/j.ygyno.2024.04.007 (Source: Gynecologic Oncology)

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1560: A Perspective Review: Analyzing Collagen Alterations in Ovarian Cancer by High-Resolution Optical Microscopy
gnola High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the predominant subtype of ovarian cancer (OC), occurring in more than 80% of patients diagnosed with this malignancy. Histological and genetic analysis have confirmed the secretory epithelial of the fallopian tube (FT) as a major site of origin of HGSOC. Although there have been significant strides in our understanding of this disease, early stage detection and diagnosis are still rare. Current clinical imaging modalities lack the ability to detect early stage pathogenesis in the fallopian tubes and the ovaries. However, there are several microscopic imaging techniques...

Rates of paclitaxel hypersensitivity reactions using a  modified Markman’s infusion protocol as primary prophylaxis
ConclusionThe modified Markman ’s desensitisation protocol as primary prophylaxis did not reduce the rate or severity of paclitaxel hypersensitivity reactions, although all patients could be successfully rechallenged. (Source: Supportive Care in Cancer)

Has time to chemotherapy from primary debulking surgery in advanced ovarian cancer an impact on survival? - A population-based nationwide SweGCG study
CONCLUSIONS: For the entire cohort, stage IV, non-serous morphology and residual disease, but not TTC, influenced 5-year relative survival. However, longer TTC was associated with a poorer 2-year survival for those without residual disease after PDS.PMID:38603954 | DOI:10.1016/j.ygyno.2024.03.011 (Source: Gynecologic Oncology)

Identification of long noncoding RNAs downregulated specifically in ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma
CONCLUSION: We identified eleven lncRNAs that were specifically downregulated in HGSC. Of these, CBR3-AS1, NBR2, and ADAMTS9-AS2 had unique functions in the malignant behaviors of HGSC.PMID:38571514 | PMC:PMC10988898 | DOI:10.1002/rmb2.12572 (Source: Reproductive Biology)
