nullOvarian CancerOvarian CancernullcancernullnullnullnullnullIntroduction Introduction Ovarian cancer is the most common cause of death from gynecological malignancy
The fifth most common cause of cancer death after breast, lung, colon, and stomach cancer.
IntroductionIntroductionApproximately 1 woman in 70 will develop ovarian cancer
1 woman in 100 will die from it.
The overall 5-year survival rate is poor, about 30%, primarily due to the late presenting nature of the disease.
Incidence is age-relatedIncidence is age-related In woman less than 30 years age, the incidence is 3/100,000;
in ages 30-50, 21/100.000;
> 50 years, 37/100,000;
greater than 60 years, 46/100,000;
75-79,54/100,000.
Etiology Etiology Hereditary factors
Site-Specific Familial Ovarian Cancer
First-degree: mother, sister, daughter 7% lifetime risk
Second-degree: grandmother, aunt 5% lifetime risk
Breast-Ovarian Cancer Syndrome
EtiologyEtiologyMolecular factors
P53 gene mutations;
X-chromosome inactivation EtiologyEtiologyTalc
The use of talc (hydrous magnesium silicates) on the perineum is reported to increase the risk of developing ovarian cancer. EtiologyEtiologyDiet
High fat food is associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer.
Japanese woman eats more fish and drink less milk have low risk of ovarian cancer.
Do not drink whole milk. Fat free milk
EtiologyEtiologyInfertility
It is reported that married infertile woman had increased risk for the development of ovarian cancer
EtiologyEtiologyPregnancy
It is reported that a decreased risk for the development of ovarian cancer is associated with pregnancy
EtiologyEtiologyOral contraceptives
The data from the Centers for Disease Control showed that 40% reduction in the risk for developing ovarian cancer in woman ages 20-54 that had used oral contraceptives. EtiologyEtiologyTuble ligation
In a prospective study of 121,700 female nurses, tubal ligation was found to significantly decrease the risk of developing ovarian cancer. A strong inverse relationship between tubal ligation and ovarian cancer.

Have a good prognosis generally. Characterized by the presence of pseudostratification. Nuclear and cellular atypia, increased mitotic activity and detachment.
However, the pathological diagnosis also requires the absence of neoplastic cell invasion of the underlying stroma.nullBorderline Serous tumornullBorderline Serous tumornullBorderline Serous tumorSerous tumorSerous tumorMalignant: Have an extremely poor prognosis if disseminated from the primary site. The primary tumor frequently contain the solid regions of malignant tissue which grow rapidly and often exhibit hemorrhagic and necrotic regions. Nuclear and cellular atypia, a high nucleocytoplasmic ratio, a frequent mitoses. There is, however, destructive invasion of the underlying stroma by the malignant adenocarcinoma cells.
One third of all serous tumors are malignant, and serous adenocarconoma account for just under half of all epithelial ovarian cancer.

Endometrioid tumors are malignant and account for about 15% of all EOCs.

nullnullnullnullThe metastatic ways of
ovarian cancer The metastatic ways of
ovarian cancer 1. Invasion directly: via direct continuity to pelvic and abdominal peritoneal structures by seeding from primary tumor
2. Metastasis by lymphotube: via lymphatic dissemination from the lymphatics to the pelvic lymph nodes
The metastatic ways of
ovarian cancer The metastatic ways of
ovarian cancer 3. Metastasis by blood vessel: via dissemination from the lymphatic along the ovarian vessels to the para-aortic lymph nodes in the region of the renal vessels . Hematogenous spread is rare and thus distant metastasis to the lung, kidney, bone, and liver is rare. nullnullnullMetastasisnullnullnullnullHistological gradeHistological grade Grade I : Well differentiation
Grade II: middle differentiation
Grade III: Badly differentiation Symptoms and Physical Findings Symptoms and Physical Findings Symptoms:
Because ovarian cancer is often asymtomatic in its earliest stages over 70% of woman present with widespread (stage III and IV) disease at the time of Diagnosis. Symptom do not occur until the ovarian mass begin to encroach on other viscera or there is intra-abdominal spread discomfort, abdominal swelling, most often secondary to ascites and spread to the omentum. Pelvic discomfort, low back pain, and vaginal bleeding may also be noted and usually occur after these initial symptoms.Physical Findings:Physical Findings:pay attention when ovarian is measured more over 5 cm by examination, especially in woman over 40 years of age, further evaluation is necessary. Sometime a functional ovarian cyst (follicular or corpus luteum cyst) unless it has benign characteristics: smooth, cystic , mobile, unilateral, no larger than 5-7 cm in diameter, persists for less than 4-6 weeks, occurs during reproductive years, and is primarily cystic on ultrasonic examination . Physical Findings:Physical Findings: Since only 5% of benign tumors are bilateral at initial presentation, compared with 25% of malignant tumor, the presence of bilateral ovarian masses, even in the young age group, requires immediate evaluation to rule out ovarian cancer. Ascites and nodularit of the rectovaginal septun may be present with malignant tumors.
