PURPOSE: We aimed to describe RAS mutations in gynecologic cancers as they relate to clinicopathologic and genomic features, survival, and therapeutic implications. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Gynecologic cancers with available somatic molecular …
OBJECTIVES: To determine the efficacy and tolerability of sunitinib in recurrent or persistent clear cell ovarian cancer patients. METHODS: All patients had one or two prior regimens with measurable disease. Tumors were at least 50% clear …
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of cabozantinib in recurrent clear cell ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer. METHODS: Patients with recurrent ovarian, fallopian or primary peritoneal tumors with at lea…
PURPOSE: We examined disparities in prognosis between patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) and serous epithelial ovarian cancer (SOC). METHODS: We reviewed data from FIGO stage I-IV epithelial ovarian cancer patients who parti…
Epithelial ovarian cancer is a diverse molecular and clinical disease, yet standard treatment is the same for all subtypes. TP53 mutations represent a node of divergence in epithelial ovarian cancer histologic subtypes and may represent a t…
PURPOSE: The phosphoinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) pathway is frequently dysregulated in endometrial cancer (EC). Hormonal manipulation leads to response in some patients with EC, but resistance derived from PI3K pathway activation has been docum…
OBJECTIVE: To determine clinical characteristics of women with endometriosis-associated intraperitoneal cancers, to assess differences based on the relationship of the cancer to the endometriosis, and to assess factors associated with survi…
In Brief OBJECTIVE To determine clinical characteristics of women with endometriosis-associated intraperitoneal cancers, to assess differences based on the relationship of the cancer to the endometriosis, and to assess factors associated wi…
OBJECTIVE: To determine the feasibility of intraoperative lymphatic mapping in patients with vulvar cancer. METHODS: Isosulfan blue was injected intradermally at the junction of tumor and normal skin in nine patients. We then attempted to …
From 1967 through December 1987, 145 patients with endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary were treated at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. Thirty-eight patients (26.2%) had stage I disease, 28 (19.3%) stage II, 60 (41.4%) …
Clear cell carcinoma of the ovary accounts for 2 to 3% of all epithelial ovarian neoplasms. Patient profiles, pathological characteristics, and results of treatment are reviewed for 59 patients. The median age was 51. Disease extent at diag…
The presence of endometrial tissue in myometrial vessels has been described in the literature primarily in association with the menstrual period. We reviewed 277 hysterectomy specimens to assess the frequency of endometrial tissue in myomet…
