A Study Comparing Perioperative Stress Reduction vs. Standard of Care in Ovarian Cancer (PRESERVE) (clinicaltrials.gov)

IL-17-driven tumor cell-intrinsic inflammatory programming creates an immunotherapy-permissive microenvironment. (PubMed, Mol Cancer)
IL-17-responsive, tumor cell-intrinsic inflammatory programming remodels the tumor immune microenvironment toward an immunotherapy-permissive state. These findings establish IL-17-responsive tumor cell inflammatory programming as a mechanistic axis shaping immune checkpoint sensitivity and provide a rationale for biomarker-guided immunotherapy strategies.

An organoid-guided platform for ovarian cancer: enabling prediction of patients' chemotherapy response. (PubMed, J Ovarian Res)
Preoperative CA153 and CA199 levels were found to be independent factors influencing ovarian tumour organoid generation. The drug responses of most PDOs to paclitaxel and carboplatin were consistent with the clinical treatment outcomes.

Integrative Analysis Reveals BPTF, COL1A1, and COL4A2 as Fibroblast-Related Biomarkers Associated with Immune Infiltration in Ovarian Cancer. (PubMed, Curr Med Chem)
This study discovered three key fibroblast-related genes associated with OC progression and immune cell infiltration. These findings offer potential biomarkers and a theoretical foundation for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for OC.

Mitochondrial genome alterations in cancer: From mutations and epigenetics to targeted therapiesack. (PubMed, Biochem Biophys Res Commun)
We also discuss how MEG alterations contribute to the Warburg effect, chemoresistance, and tumor metastasis, which are critical barriers to effective cancer treatment. This synthesis highlights the pivotal role of mitochondrial genetics in cancer biology and positions MEGs as promising targets for innovative anticancer therapies.

Long-term control of peritoneal metastases following claudin 18.2-targeted CAR T-Cell therapy in advanced gastric cancer. (PubMed, J Hematol Oncol)
Although circulating CAR T-cells became nearly undetectable in peripheral blood by around day 30 after infusion, CAR T-cell infiltration was still detected in resected gastric or ovarian tumor tissues months later. These findings support substantial and durable activity of CLDN18.2 CAR T-cell therapy in gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis.

Comparative performance of four risk of malignancy indices (RMI) in predicting ovarian malignancy: a large retrospective cohort study. (PubMed, Ginekol Pol)
All four RMIs effectively differentiate benign from malignant adnexal masses. RMI-1 offers the highest overall accuracy and specificity, and RMI-2 the highest sensitivity. These indices provide valuable preoperative risk stratification to guide clinical management and referral to specialized care. Institutional resources should inform the choice of RMI.

Updated patient-reported outcomes and the effect of disease progression on health-related quality of life in the PRIMA/ENGOT-OV26/GOG-3012 trial of niraparib first-line maintenance therapy in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer. (PubMed, Gynecol Oncol)
In the final PRIMA PRO analysis, results confirmed that niraparib first-line maintenance did not negatively affect HRQOL versus placebo. Disease progression caused sustained HRQOL deterioration across arms, emphasizing the clinical importance of extending progression-free survival to preserve patient HRQOL.

Olvi-Vec oncolytic immunotherapy and reversal of platinum resistance in ovarian cancer. (PubMed, Gynecol Oncol Rep)
In the preclinical study, durable antitumor effect was achieved through combination treatment with Olvi-Vec and cisplatin in mouse model of PROC. Combination therapy of Olvi-Vec and platinum-doublet chemotherapy resulted in a clinically meaningful benefit in the VIRO-15 study, reversing the typical trend of deteriorating PFS, and with clinical reversal of platinum resistance. Olvi-Vec treatment can favorably modify the TME in OC and may explain the apparent reversal of platinum resistance following platinum rechallenge.Trial Registration:ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02759588.

Understanding risk perception and risk-reducing decision-making for surgery among individuals with a genetic predisposition to epithelial ovarian cancer. (PubMed, J Genet Couns)
Perceived risk was intertwined with cancer worry, and individuals made decisions regarding RRSO based on factors such as perceived risk, control, family planning, hormonal impacts, and recovery. Importantly, healthcare providers exerted both direct and indirect influences on the decision-making process.
