Epithelial ovarian cancer remains the lethal gynecological malignancy in women. The representative histotype is high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC), and most patients with HGSC present at advanced stages with peritoneal dissemination. Since the peritoneal dissemination is the most important factor for poor prognosis of the patients, complete exploration for its molecular mechanisms is mandatory. In this narrative review, being based on the clinical, pathologic, and genomic findings of HGSC, chromosomal instability and epigenetic dynamics have been discussed as the potential drivers for cancer development in the fallopian tube, acquisition of cancer stem cell (CSC)-like properties, and peritoneal metastasis of HGSC. The natural history of carcinogenesis with clonal evolution, and adaptation to microenvironment of peritoneal dissemination of HGSC should be targeted in the novel development of strategies for prevention, early detection, and precision treatment for patients with HGSC.

Objective: Some, but not all, granulosa cell tumors are characterized by estrogen production. This study was designed to determine whether there are clinical or pathological variations ingranulosa cell tumors in relation to the expression of sex steroid synthesis enzymes. Methods: Clinical symptoms, serum hormonal values, and histology of 30 granulosacell tumor patients who underwent surgery between 2002 and 2014 were retrospectivelyreviewed. Results: Most patients presented with abnormal genital bleeding including abnormalmenstrual cycles. Eight of 16 patients older than 50 years had endometrial hyperplasia andone had endometrial cancer. Serum 17β-estradiol (E2) levels tended to be higher in patientsover 50 years of age (p=0.081). Serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels were low inall patients irrespective of serum E2 levels. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a thickerendometrium in older as compared to younger patients (p<0.05). Tumor cells in the majorityof cases were positive for inhibin α and P450 aromatase, irrespective of age and serum E2levels. P450 17α-hydroxylase (P450c17) expression varied among cases. P450c17 was stronglypositive in luteinized tumor cells and weakly positive in theca cells and fibroblasts. High E2levels were associated with P450c17-positive cells in the tumor (p<0.05). Conclusion: The expression of hormone-synthesizing enzymes divides granulosa celltumors into 2 distinct types; tumors with P450c17-positive cells show elevated serum E2 andrelated clinical symptoms, while tumors without these cells show symptoms related to FSHsuppression by inhibin.

ObjectiveThe need for tailoring ovarian cancer treatments to individual patients is increasing. This study aimed to evaluate theprognostic value of pretreatment laboratory test data for predicting the response and survival outcomes of platinumbasedchemotherapy in ovarian cancer. MethodsWe enrolled 270 patients with ovarian cancer diagnosed at the Kyoto Medical Center (n=120; group A) and KyotoUniversity (n=150; group B). Data on 9 blood parameters (neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio [NLR], platelet to lymphocyterate [PLR], C-reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase [LDH], glucose, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein [HDL],low-density lipoprotein, and triglyceride levels), cancer pathology, cancer stage, cytoreduction outcomes, serumcancer antigen 125 levels, platinum-free interval (PFI), disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival were assessedretrospectively. ResultsNLR, PLR, LDH, and HDL were significantly different in advanced stage patients (P<0.001, <0.001, 0.029, and <0.001,respectively). The Kaplan-Meier curves revealed that high LDH level (≥250 U/L) was associated with reduced PFI(P=0.037 and 0.012) and DFS (P=0.007 and 0.002) in groups A and B, respectively. High NLR (≥4) was associated withreduced DFS in both groups (P=0.036 and 0.005, respectively). LDH showed higher area under the curve (AUC) valuesin predicting platinum resistance with a PFI of less than 6 months and 12 months (AUC=0.606 and 0.646, respectively)than NLR. In the multivariate analysis, LDH remained significant (P=0.019) after adjusting for the 9 blood parameters. ConclusionSerum LDH level may possibly predict platinum resistance and prognosis in ovarian cancer and may be useful whendeveloping precision medicine for individual patients.

Objective: Carcinosarcoma of the uterine corpus has a poor prognosis. Although pathologicalnecrosis is a prognostic factor of endometrial cancer, the clinicopathological influences of anunenhanced region observed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are inconclusive. The aimof our study was to determine the clinicobiological impact of the presence of an unenhancedregion on MRI, which can represent necrosis, in uterine carcinosarcoma. Methods: The clinicopathological factors of 29 patients diagnosed with uterinecarcinosarcoma were assessed retrospectively. The percentage of the tumor that wasunenhanced on MRI was determined. The clinicopathological factors related to theunenhanced regions were evaluated. The prognostic significance was assessed using theKaplan-Meier method and Cox regression model. Results: Although the presence of pathological necrosis was not a poor prognosticfactor (p=0.704), unenhanced regions on MRI correlated with poor prognosis when theunenhanced regions in the tumor accounted for more than 10% of the total tumor (p=0.019). The percentage of unenhanced regions was positively correlated with stage (p=0.028;r=0.4691) and related to tumor size (p=0.086; r=0.3749). The Cox regression analysisindicated that the presence of lymph node (LN) metastasis and more than 10% of the tumorbeing unenhanced on MRI were prognostic factors of overall survival in the univariateanalyses (p=0.018 and p=0.047, respectively). Conclusion: The unenhanced region on MRI, which represents pathological necrosis, reflectstumor progression, and semi-quantification of the region is useful to predict the prognosis inpatients with uterine carcinosarcoma.

Objective: To identify suitable diagnostic tools and evaluate the efficacy of sentinel lymphnode (SLN) biopsy for inguinal lymph node metastasis in vulvar cancer. Methods: Data from 41 patients with vulvar cancer were evaluated retrospectively, includingmagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements, SLN biopsy status, groin lymph nodemetastasis, and prognosis. Results: SLN biopsy was conducted in 12 patients who had stage I to III disease. Groinlymphadenectomy was omitted in five of the nine patients with negative SLNs. All SLNnegativepatients who did not undergo groin lymphadenectomy showed no evidence ofdisease after treatment. On MRI, the long and short diameters of the inguinal node weresignificantly longer in metastasis-positive cases, compared with negative cases, in 25 patientswhose nodes were evaluated pathologically (long diameter, 12.8 mm vs. 8.8 mm, p=0.025;short diameter, 9.2 mm vs. 6.7 mm, p=0.041). The threshold of >10.0 mm for the longaxis gave a sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of87.5%, 70.6%, 58.3%, and 92.3%, respectively, using a binary classification test. Decisiontree analysis revealed a sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 87.5%, 70.6%, and 76.0%,respectively, with the threshold of >10.0 mm for the long axis on MRI. The criteria of >10.0mm for the long axis on MRI predicted an advanced stage and poorer prognosis using avalidation set of 15 cases (p=0.028). Conclusion: Minimally invasive surgery after preoperative evaluation on MRI and SLN biopsyis a feasible strategy for patients with vulvar cancer.
