Article Abstract

Incorporation of pathological and (not mandatory) molecular features into the new FIGO 2023 staging system has generated some controversy. Several validations have been published recently that demonstrated the higher prognostic precision of FIGO 2023 compared to the previous FIGO 2009 scheme. In the present article, the authors want to respond to some concerns that were raised by some pathologists and clinicians.

Objective: To investigate the clinical utility of diagnostic laparoscopy in guiding treatment strategy and surgical outcomes for patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer, specifically regarding operability assessment and the likelihood of complete cytoreduction.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed 183 patients with histologically confirmed International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage III-IV ovarian cancer treated with curative intent between January 2018 and December 2023 at a tertiary referral center. Patients were divided into two groups: those who underwent diagnostic laparoscopy prior to primary treatment (n = 80) and those managed without laparoscopy (n = 103).

Gene actionability according to the ESMO Scale for Clinical Actionability of molecular Targets (ESCAT) in No Specific Molecular Profile (NSMP) endometrial cancer.

ESMO Open

September 2025

Unit of Oncological Gynecology, Women's Children's and Public Health Department, Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli, IRCCS, Rome, Italy; Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Rome, Italy. Electronic address: https://twitter.com/camillanero.

Background: The No Specific Molecular Profile (NSMP) subtype accounts for ∼30%-40% of endometrial cancer (EC), comprising a heterogeneous group of EC.

Patients And Methods: The primary outcome of this study was the prevalence of actionable genomic alterations in NSMP EC, classified according to the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Scale for Clinical Actionability of molecular Targets (ESCAT). Oncogenic and likely oncogenic alterations, pathways, and co-mutation patterns were reported.

Optimizing bevacizumab dosing in first-line ovarian cancer treatment: the PGOG-ov1 trial.

Trials

September 2025

Independent Laboratory of Translational Medicine, Chair of Medical Genetics, Medical University of Lublin, Lublin, Poland.

The management of advanced ovarian cancer has significantly developed with the integration of bevacizumab into standard therapeutic regimens. While the efficacy of bevacizumab has been established in trials such as GOG218, ICON7, and PAOLA-1, there remains a gap in understanding the advantages of the 7.5 mg/kg dose over the 15 mg/kg regimen.

Does BRCA Mutation Status Influence Ovarian Cancer Onset Timing and Patients' Treatment Outcomes?

Genes (Basel)

July 2025

Department of Gynecological Surgery and Gynecological Oncology of Adults and Adolescents, Pomeranian Medical University, Powstancow Wielkopolskich 72, 70-111 Szczecin, Poland.

Background/objectives: Mutations in the and genes are well-known risk factors for ovarian cancer. They are also associated with response to platinum-based chemotherapy; however, their definitive impact on patient prognosis remains not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the influence of mutation status on the age of ovarian cancer onset and on treatment outcomes in patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer.
