The search for a specific protein that could help diagnose ovarian cancer in its early stages has for years eluded researchers who are seeking a reliable and accurate test for the disease. view more (2006-04-03)
PET/CT scan could be valuable noninvasive tool for determining stages of ovarian cancer
Combined positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) scanning of patients in the early stages of ovarian cancer can enable physicians to determine whether the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes without having to perform surgery. view more (2008-06-17)
Scientists from University of Hawaii at Manoa find genetic marker
A new genetic marker associated with ovarian cancer risk was recently discovered by an international research group, led by scientists from the Cancer Research Genetic Epidemiology Unit in the United Kingdom. view more (2009-09-01)
Young early stage ovarian cancer patients can preserve fertility
A new study finds that young women with early-stage ovarian cancer can preserve future fertility by keeping at least one ovary or the uterus without increasing the risk of dying from the disease. view more (2009-08-10)
Researchers working on a better method of detecting ovarian cancer
According to the National Cancer Institute, ovarian cancer causes more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system. An estimated 20,180 new cases of ovarian cancer are expected in the United States this year. view more (2006-04-04)
Tulane pioneers novel ovarian cancer treatment
The Tulane University Section of Hematology and Medical Oncology is investigating a novel treatment for ovarian cancer by using intravenous Ontak to deplete harmful cells that inhibit the body's natural immune response to fight cancer. Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cancer killer of women in the United States. view more (2005-07-18)
Scientists report the first live births in large mammals after using frozen ovarian tissue
Lausanne, Switzerland: French scientists have succeeded in using previously frozen ovarian tissue to produce live offspring in large mammals for the first time. The team, led by Professor Bruno Salle and Dr Jacqueline Lornage of the Departement de Médecine de la Reproduction at the Hôpital Edouard Herriot in Lyon, reported that from... view more...

First case of successful ovarian tissue transplantation between two, nonidentical sisters
A woman, whose ovaries had failed due to damage caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, has received a successful ovarian transplant from her genetically non-identical sister. view more (2007-08-02)
New role for tamoxifen as fertility drug for breast cancer patients?
US fertility experts have discovered a potential new role for the wonder drug tamoxifen - helping breast cancer patients to have babies by IVF. In a study published today (Wednesday 8 January) in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction [1], researchers from New York's Cornell University report the first IVF pregnancy to... view more...

HtrA1 and resistance to chemotherapy in ovarian and gastric cancers
While many cancer patients initially have a favorable response to chemotherapy for the treatment of solid tumors, resistance to treatment often develops. view more (2006-06-09)
EMSY: a new gene for breast/ovarian cancer
A new human breast and ovarian cancer gene has just been described by investigators in the last issue of the journal Cell. The gene, called EMSY, also characterises a subset of breast cancer with poorer survival, which makes it a potentially important diagnostic tool. view more (2003-12-10)
Advanced-stage ovarian cancer patients with BRCA live longer, may respond better to treatment
Two abstracts underscoring the importance of testing for BRCA1/2 mutations in women with ovarian cancer were presented at this week's Society of Gynecologic Oncologists 39th Annual Meeting on Women's Cancers, by researchers from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. view more (2008-03-11)
Mayo Clinic researchers recommend embryo transfer delay for at-risk women
Mayo Clinic researchers have determined a method to achieve the best results for the mother's health and birth of a live baby for women who undergo in vitro fertilization who demonstrate risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. view more (2006-10-25)
Swedish researchers link endometriosis with increased risk of some cancers
Madrid, Spain: Women with endometriosis have an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, endocrine and brain cancers, a Swedish researcher told the annual meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology today (Wednesday 2 July). However, Dr Anna-Sofia Berglund said that since these were relatively... view more... (2003-06-29)
Prophylactic surgeries prevent two gynecological cancers in women with Lynch syndrome
Women diagnosed with Lynch syndrome, a condition often associated with colon cancer, also are at high risk for endometrial and ovarian cancers-both of which can be eliminated by having a prophylactic hysterectomy and oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries). view more (2006-01-19)
Ovarian Cancer May Mimic Fallopian Tube Formation
A new study suggests that ovarian cancer cells form by hijacking a developmental genetic process normally used to form fallopian tubes. Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Ovarian Cancer Institute discovered that the protein, PAX8, is involved in the development of fallopian tubes and is present in ovarian cancer cells, but... view more...

Sacral-nerve stimulation could help counteract incontinence (p 1270)
Results of a small trial in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that electrical stimulation of the sacral nerve could be a future treatment option for faecal incontinence. Anal incontinence affects an estimated 2% of the general population. Prevalence rises with age, affecting up to 11% of men and 26% of women after age 50 years. Treatment... view more... (2004-04-14)
Trojan horse for ovarian cancer -- nanoparticles turn immune system soldiers against tumor cells
In a feat of trickery, Dartmouth Medical School immunologists have devised a Trojan horse to help overcome ovarian cancer, unleashing a surprise killer in the surroundings of a hard-to-treat tumor. view more (2009-07-16)
Neurologists with expertise in brain stimulation therapy help Parkinson's patients
Patients with Parkinson's disease who are undergoing a treatment known as deep brain stimulation may benefit from the direct involvement of a neurologist with expertise both in movement disorders and in deep brain stimulation. view more (2006-07-11)
Minimizing obesity's impact on ovarian cancer survival
Obesity affects health in several ways, but new research shows obesity can have minimal impact on ovarian cancer survival. A study by researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Comprehensive Cancer Center found ovarian cancer survival rates are the same for obese and non-obese women if their chemotherapy doses are closely matched... view more...
