Article Abstract

We herein develop two β-galactosidase (β-Gal) activatable NIR fluorescent probes for visualizing ovarian cancers. Particularly, probe BOD-M-βGal produced NIR-II emission light at 900-1300 nm upon β-Gal activation. By using our activatable and target specific NIR-II probe for deep-tissue imaging of β-Gal overexpressed ovarian cancer cells, rapid and accurate imaging of ovarian tumors in nude mice was achieved.

Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) remains the most lethal gynecological malignancy, largely due to its late-stage diagnosis and nonspecific early symptoms. Advances in biomarker identification and machine learning offer promising avenues for improving early detection and prognosis. This review evaluates the role of biomarker-driven ML models in enhancing the early detection, risk stratification, and treatment planning of OC.

Aims: This review summarizes the role and future prospects of nuclear medicine in ovarian cancer, focusing on novel radiopharmaceuticals beyond FDG for diagnostic, predictive, and therapeutic applications within a theranostic framework.

Materials And Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted using major databases. Peer-reviewed articles addressing non-FDG radiopharmaceuticals in ovarian cancer were identified and assessed; FDG-based studies were excluded due to the availability of prior comprehensive reviews.

Struma ovarii (SO) is a rare form of ovarian teratoma predominantly composed of thyroid tissue. While most cases follow a benign course, some may exhibit malignant transformation or extra-ovarian spread. We present the case of a 43-year-old woman with a history of SO previously treated with right oophorectomy and systemic chemotherapy, along with a separate diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma managed with total thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine ablation.

Ovarian cancer (OvCa) remains the leading cause of gynecological cancer mortality, with most patients developing chemoresistance. Drug repurposing offers promising alternatives, with mebendazole (MBZ) showing anticancer activity. This study evaluates MBZ efficacy using Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT).
