BACKGROUND:Ovarian cancer (OC) remains one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies worldwide, with a disproportionate burden in older women. This study aims to quantify and project the OC burden from 1990 to 2021 using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021). METHODS:Leveraging data from the GBD 2021, this study comprehensively assessed trends in OC-related disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), deaths, incidence, and prevalence across 204 countries and 21 regions from 1990 to 2021, and age-standardized rates were calculated. Joinpoint regression and age-period-cohort (APC) modeling were used to identify temporal trends and cohort effects. Inequality was assessed using the Slope Index of Inequality (SII) and Concentration Index (CI). The Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model was applied to project OC burden through 2050. RESULTS:From 1990 to 2021, absolute DALYs, deaths, incidence, and prevalence of OC among women ≥50 years increased markedly, while ASRs declined globally. High and high-middle SDI regions exhibited the highest burden, particularly among women under 75 years. Australasia demonstrated sustained improvement, whereas Andean Latin America experienced worsening trends. Health inequality, reflected in declining SII and CI values, has narrowed since 1990. High BMI emerged as the dominant risk factor, especially in Central Europe. Occupational asbestos exposure remained regionally significant, particularly in Australasia. Projections indicate continued increases in OC burden through 2050, driven by demographic aging and rising life expectancy. CONCLUSION:Despite improvements in age-standardized OC metrics, the absolute burden continues to rise globally, underscoring the need for age- and region-specific strategies.
Mucinous ovarian carcinoma (MOC) represents a distinct entity within ovarian malignancies, characterized by diagnostic challenges due to its rarity and the potential overlap with other tumor types. The determination of tumor origin is important for precise postsurgical treatment. This article highlights the accurate diagnosis and management of MOC, including the use of imaging modalities, serological tumor markers, immunohistochemistry, and genomic analyses. Transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasonography, complemented by MRI and CT, plays a pivotal role in differentiating MOC from other mucinous tumors and in surgical planning, particularly for fertility preservation. Serological markers like CA19-9, CA-125, and CEA, though not definitive, provide valuable preoperative insights. Immunohistochemistry aids in distinguishing primary MOC from metastatic mucinous carcinomas, while genomic profiling offers the potential for precision medicine through the identification of specific molecular signatures and treatment susceptibilities. Despite advancements in diagnostic techniques, no single method conclusively differentiates between primary and metastatic tumors intraoperatively. The paper reviews the origins, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis of primary mucinous ovarian carcinoma highlights the need for a multimodal diagnostic approach and advocates for the inclusion of MOC patients in clinical trials for personalized therapies, recognizing the heterogeneity of the disease at the molecular level.
Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) is often associated with an unfavorable prognosis. Given the crucial involvement of lysosomes in tumor advancement, lysosome-related genes (LRGs) hold promise as potential therapeutic targets. Methods: To identify differentially expressed lysosome-related genes (DE-LRGs), we performed a matching analysis between differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in OC and the pool of LRGs. Genes with prognostic significance were analyzed using multiple regression analyses to construct a prognostic risk signature. The model's efficacy was validated through survival analysis in various cohorts. We further explored the model's correlation with clinical attributes, tumor microenvironment (TME), mutational patterns, and drug sensitivity. The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) validated gene expression in OC cells. Results: A 10-gene prognostic risk signature was established. Survival analysis confirmed its predictive accuracy across cohorts. The signature served as an independent prognostic element for OC. The high-risk and low-risk groups demonstrated notable disparities in terms of immune infiltration patterns, mutational characteristics, and sensitivity to therapeutic agents. The qRT-PCR results corroborated and validated the findings obtained from the bioinformatic analyses. Conclusions: We devised a 10-LRG prognostic model linked to TME, offering insights for tailored OC treatments.
Circular RNA (circRNA), a type of non‑coding RNA, plays a regulatory role in biological processes. The special loop structure of circRNA makes it highly stable and specific in diseased tissues and cells, especially in tumors. Competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) compete for the binding of microRNA (miRNA) at specific binding sites and thus regulate gene expression. ceRNAs play an important role in various diseases and are currently recognized as the most prominent mechanism of action of circRNAs. circRNAs can modulate the proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis of tumor cells through the ceRNA mechanism. With further research, circRNAs may serve as novel markers and therapeutic targets for ovarian cancer (OC). In the present review, the research progress of circRNAs as ceRNAs in OC was summarized, focusing on the effects of the circRNA/miRNA/mRNA axis on the biological functions of OC cells through mediating pivotal signaling pathways. The role of circRNAs in the diagnosis, prognostic assessment and treatment of OC was also discussed in the present review.
Background Ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC) is the second most commonly occurring ovarian epithelial malignancy, but the associated prognostic factors remain obscure. This study aimed to analyze independent prognostic factors for patients with OEC and to develop and validate a nomogram to predict the overall survival (OS) of these patients. Methods Clinical information of patients with OEC (2000–2019) was obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were used to identify independent prognostic factors, and nomogram models were constructed using independent prognostic factors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration plots, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to verify the accuracy and validity of the nomogram. Kaplan–Meier curves were used to compare the differences in OS and cancer-specific survival (CSS) among subgroups. Results A total of 4628 patients with OEC were included, being divided into training ( n = 3238) and validation ( n = 1390) sets (7:3 ratio). On multivariate Cox analysis, AJCC stage, age, tumor size, differentiation, chemotherapy, and lymph node resection were significant predictors of survival outcomes ( P < 0.05). Resection of 1–3 lymph nodes in early-stage OEC patients did not significantly prolong OS ( P > 0.05), but resection of ≥ 4 lymph nodes in early-stage improved OS and CSS ( P < 0.05). The OS of early-stage patients was not related to whether or not they received chemotherapy ( P > 0.05). Lymph node resection and chemotherapy significantly improved the prognosis of patients with advanced OEC ( P < 0.05). The c-index of nomogram prediction model was 0.782. ROC with good discrimination, calibration plots with high consistency, and DCA with large net benefit rate result in large clinical value. Conclusion AJCC stage, differentiation, tumor size, age, chemotherapy, and lymph node dissection were prognostic factors of OEC. The constructed nomogram prediction model can effectively predict the prognosis of OEC patients and improve the accuracy of clinical decision-making.

Background: Poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have emerged as maintenance therapy for advanced ovarian cancer. However, due to the development of drug resistance, combination of PARP inhibitors with other chemotherapeutic agents has become a contemporary research hotspot. Methods: We conducted a meta-analysis of phase II or III randomized controlled trials to analyze the efficacy and safety of combinations of PARP inhibitors with various chemotherapeutic agents on the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with ovarian cancer. Results: A total of eight trials that contained the combination of PARP inhibitors and chemotherapeutic agents were included. Combination of PARP inhibitors with bevacizumab benefited patients with BRCA mutations and HRD-positive status(HR=0.34 (95% Cl: 0.23–0.5; P<0.05); HR=0.35 (95% Cl: 0.27–0.45; P<0.05)), while combination with chemotherapy prolonged the PFS in the BRCA mutation, HRD, and homologous recombination proficiency subgroups(HR=0.39 (95% Cl: 0.26–0.58; P<0.05);HR=0.57 (95% Cl: 0.43–0.76; P<0.05); HR=0.79 (95% Cl: 0.64–0.98; P<0.05) ). However, patients with BRCA wild-type or unknown type benefited most from combination with cediranib. PARP inhibitors increased the risk of G≥3 neutropenia when combined with bevacizumab(RR=2.25, 95% Cl 1.09–4.62; P<0.05) and G≥3 anemia(RR=1.54, 95% Cl 1.16–2.05; P<0.05) and neutropenia(RR=1.25,95% CL 1.00-1.57; P<0.05) when combined with chemotherapy. Conclusion: Combination regimens of PARP inhibitors showed benefits in both primary and recurrent ovarian cancer, and the population subsets benefiting varied among different combinations. G≥3 adverse reactions were mainly hematological toxicities.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a highly lethal disease among all gynecologic malignant tumor types. Accumulating studies have indicated that certain long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve important roles in the development and progression of OC. In a previous study by our group, lncRNA BC041954 was identified as one of the most upregulated lncRNAs in OC. In the present study, the clinical significance of lncRNA BC041954 in OC was evaluated. The expression of BC041954 was detected in OC and non-tumor tissue (NT) samples using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Furthermore, the association between BC041954 and clinicopathological variables was analyzed using the Chi-square test. Survival was determined using Kaplan-Meier analysis. The prognostic significance of BC041954 was evaluated using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. MicroRNA (miRNA)-lncRNA and miRNA-mRNA pairs were used to construct the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA competing endogenous RNA network with an in-house Perl script. BC041954 expression was increased in 103 OC tissues as compared with that in NT tissues. Upregulated BC041954 expression was significantly associated with the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage and distant metastasis. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that patients with high BC041954 expression had lower overall survival (OS). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, BC041954 was also identified as an independent poor prognostic factor for OS in patients with OC. The results suggested that overexpression of the lncRNA BC041954 is a poor prognostic indicator in patients with OC.

Objectives: To investigate IFN-γ rs2430561 polymorphisms in Han women in northeast China and the relationship between the rs2430561 polymorphisms and the risk of cervical cancer. Methods: PCR-ASP was used for genotyping. IFN-γ rs2430561 polymorphism was detected in 173 cases of cervical invasive carcinoma and 422 healthy controls in Han women in northeast China. Results: The allele and genotype distributions of the IFN-γ rs2430561 polymorphism were not significantly different between each of the groups (P > 0.05). There was no significant relationship between rs2430561 polymorphism and invasive cervical cancer (TT vs AA, OR = 1.321, 95% CI: 0.423–4.121, P = 0.632). The rs2430561 genotype was not associated with major clinicopathological features of invasive cervical cancer (P > 0.05). The polymorphism had no significant effect on overall survival (P = 0.071) or progression free survival (P = 0.067) of invasive cervical carcinoma. Conclusions: Rs2430561 polymorphism had no effect on invasive cervical cancer susceptibility in Han females in northeastern China, and was not associated with the prognosis of invasive cervical carcinoma.
