Yale test detects early stage ovarian cancer with 99 percent accuracy
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have developed a blood test with enough sensitivity and specificity to detect early stage ovarian cancer with 99 percent accuracy. view more (2008-02-13)
New study reports increased response to therapy with no added toxicity in treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer
In a study released today at the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists 37th Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer, researchers found the addition of thalidomide to topotecan for the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer significantly increases the response to therapy and the duration of progression free survival without additional toxicity. view more (2006-03-27)
Women with advanced ovarian cancer survive longer when treated with paclitaxel (Taxol) and cisplatin than with cyclophosphamide-cisplatin therapy
Embargoed for release: Tuesday 22 October, 09.30 (Europe), 08.30 (GMT) Women with advanced ovarian cancer survive longer when treated with Taxol (paclitaxel) and cisplatin than with cyclophosphamide-cisplatin... view more... (2002-10-19)
Combining therapies can improve survival for early-stage breast cancer patients
Patients with early-stage breast cancer who are treated with both chemotherapy and tamoxifen have a higher survival rate than patients who receive only tamoxifen. view more (2007-04-04)
Mass. General study finds potential ovarian cancer stem cells
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers have identified potential ovarian cancer stem cells, which may be behind the difficulty of treating these tumors with standard chemotherapy. view more (2006-07-24)
Program to freeze women's ovaries to preserve fertility after cancer
The Center for Reproductive Research at Northwestern University is launching a new, experimental research program for young women who may be at risk to lose their ovarian function and fertility following treatment for cancer. view more (2006-11-30)
Symptom screening plus a simple blood test improves early detection of ovarian cancer
Women's reports of persistent, recent-onset symptoms linked to ovarian cancer - abdominal or pelvic pain, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly and abdominal bloating - when combined with the CA125 blood test may improve the early detection of ovarian cancer by 20 percent. view more (2008-06-23)
2 reproductive factors are important predictors of death from ovarian cancer
Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that survival among women with ovarian cancer is influenced by age of menarche and total number of lifetime ovulatory cycles. view more (2009-07-09)
Reduced ovarian reserve associated with increased risk of trisomic pregnancy
Women who have a diminished number of eggs in their ovaries, either because they are older or for some other reason such as ovarian surgery, may be more at risk of a trisomic pregnancy than women with an ovarian reserve within the normal, fertile range. view more (2009-06-30)
Malignant tumor or benign cyst?
The results of a study presented today at the Society of Gynecologic Oncology's 39th Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer offer a promising development on the path toward better management of ovarian cancer. view more (2008-03-11)
Metals could forge new cancer drug
Drugs made using unusual metals could form an effective treatment against colon and ovarian cancer, including cancerous cells that have developed immunity to other drugs, according to research at the University of Warwick and the University of Leeds. view more (2009-10-19)
New ovarian stimulation technique offers more cancer patients the chance to preserve their fertility
Researchers have shown for the first time that it is possible to stimulate a woman's ovaries to produce eggs for collection during the final phase of the menstrual cycle. view more (2008-07-08)
UK researchers develop way of predicting a woman's 'reproductive' age
UK researchers have shown a strong direct relationship between ovarian volume and the number of primordial follicles (eggs) remaining in the ovaries of women of reproductive age. The measurement of ovarian volume by transvaginal ultrasound will enable an accurate prediction of the age of menopause and hence a woman's reproductive age. They say... view more... (2004-06-15)
Study pries into ovarian cancer's deadly secrets
A new University of Michigan Medical School study sheds light on cell defects that lead to one common type of ovarian cancer and puts forth a promising new mouse model that already is being used for preclinical drug testing. view more (2007-04-12)
American research finds twins more likely to have premature menopause
In a study of more than 800 Australian and UK twin pairs, lead by Dr Roger Gosden, Professor of Reproductive Biology at Weill Medical College of Cornell University in New York, premature ovarian failure was between three and five times greater when measured at age 40 and age 45 than in the general population. view more (2006-10-25)
International study supports new standard of treatment for women with advanced ovarian cancer
Results of a phase III, international randomized clinical trial demonstrate a new standard of care for treating advanced ovarian cancer that significantly reduces side-effects and post-operative deaths compared to the previously established treatment course. view more (2008-12-04)
Study fuels debate over whether exercise and body size influence ovarian cancer risk
A new study adds fuel to the debate over whether being fat or inactive affects the risk of developing ovarian cancer. view more (2007-09-27)
Nursing study concludes few Ontario women with invasive ovarian cancer referred for genetic testing of breast cancer genes
An Ontario study of 491 women with invasive ovarian cancer found only a small proportion, 19%, were referred for genetic testing of BRCA1 and BRCA2, the breast cancer genes, which means family members are not informed of their cancer risk. view more (2008-12-05)
Genetic variations in miRNA processing pathway and binding sites help predict ovarian cancer risk
Genetic variations in the micro-RNA (miRNA) processing pathway genes and miRNA binding sites predict a woman's risk for developing ovarian cancer and her prospects for survival. view more (2009-04-20)
Addition of dasatinib to standard chemo cocktail may enhance effect in certain ovarian cancers
The addition of a chemotherapeutic drug for leukemia to a standard regimen of two other chemotherapy drugs appears to enhance the response of certain ovarian cancers to treatment, according to a pre-clinical study led by researchers in the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center. view more (2009-04-20)
