New insights into the pathogenesis of epithelial tumors of the ovary, fallopian tube, and peritoneum, and their impact on clinical practice
2016
Abstract
According to current knowledge we can divide ovarian, tubal, and peritoneal tumors into two groups which differ both in origin and biological behavior. STIC - serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma is a plausible precursor of the second group - extrauterine pelvic serous carcinomas.
Recent data on the etiopathogenesis of these tumors put new demands on diagnostics, but also opens up new possibilities for selective screening of high-risk patients and also for targeted surgical and oncological treatment.
