Article Abstract

Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest malignancies in women and remains the leading cause of death from gynecological cancers worldwide. The standard treatment typically involves tumor-reducing surgery and cytotoxic chemotherapy; however, many patients are unable to tolerate the side effects of these treatments or experience recurrence due to significant drug resistance, which limits the overall clinical benefits. Consequently, there is a pressing need for novel therapeutic strategies. In recent years, Targeted therapies, including anti-angiogenic drugs, PARP inhibitors, and immune checkpoint inhibitors, have revolutionized ovarian cancer treatment. Additionally, drug targeting and therapeutic efficacy have been substantially enhanced through carrier technologies and conjugation strategies, such as antibody-drug conjugates, polymer-drug conjugates, and dual-targeted nanomedicines. These innovative strategies aim to selectively target ovarian cancer cells, overcome drug resistance, and reduce systemic toxicity, thus achieving optimal therapeutic outcomes. This review aims to critically evaluate the progress and challenges in ovarian cancer targeted therapy and propose future research directions to improve clinical outcomes efforts toward providing more effective and personalized treatment options for ovarian cancer patients.

The scientific community has become more enthusiastic about ketogenic diet (KD) to improve the outcomes in medical conditions, including cancer by exploiting the reprogramed metabolism of cancer cells, making the diet a promising candidate as an adjuvant cancer therapy. From this perspective, the aim of this study was to provide a broad overview covering the therapeutic effects, evaluating the clinical evidence of clinical studies underlying the implementation of the KD in the context of cancer treatment and prognosis. A scoping literature search between the years 1990 and 2023 was carried out by using PRISMA guidelines and searching through different databases of the clinical studies supporting the effectiveness and benefits of KD in various carcinomas that could provide findings of evidence on the prognosis and clinical outcomes of cancer treatment.

Background: Ovarian mature teratomas (OMTs) are the most common benign ovarian tumors in pediatric patients. Management in adolescents can be performed by pediatric (PSs) or gynecologic surgeons (GSs). The aim of this study was to assess the differences in OMT management and the repercussions according to the risk of secondary events.

Purpose: This large-scale study presents the clinicopathological characteristics and cumulative incidence of contralateral breast cancer (CBC) in Japanese BRCA1/2 pathogenic variant carriers, including cases diagnosed after the implementation of national insurance coverage.

Methods: We analyzed 2949 breast cancer cases from the registry database of the Japanese Organization of Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer.

Results: BRCA1 carriers predominantly developed triple-negative breast cancer, whereas BRCA2 carriers more frequently developed luminal-type tumors, with a younger age of onset observed in BRCA1 carriers.

Chemoresistance is the leading cause of cancer-related death. How chemotherapy subjugates the cellular crosstalk in the tumour microenvironment to cause chemoresistance remains to be defined. Here we find chemotherapy enables immunosuppressive SDF1 endothelial niche to evade immunosurveillance in ovarian and breast cancers.
