KAP1 promotes gastric adenocarcinoma progression by activating Hippo/YAP1 signaling via binding to HNRNPAB. (PubMed, Cancer Lett)
These findings establish KAP1 as a critical driver of tumor progression in GAC through YAP1 regulation and HNRNPAB interaction, highlighting its potential therapeutic target. This study advances our understanding and offers a preclinical framework to improve outcomes for GAC.

A Rare Case of Ovarian Serous Borderline Tumor Recurrence with Muscle Metastasis. (PubMed, Am J Case Rep)
CONCLUSIONS This case illustrates a rare instance of recurrent SBT with metastasis to the quadratus lumborum muscle. Given the exceptionally slow progression of recurrent SBT, long-term follow-up with CT imaging and serum CA125 monitoring is crucial for timely intervention and appropriate management upon recurrence.

Intergroup statement: opportunistic salpingectomy-molecular pathology, clinical outcomes and implications for practice (German Ovarian Cancer Commission, the North-Eastern German Society of Gynecologic Oncology (NOGGO), AGO Austria and AGO Swiss). (PubMed, Arch Gynecol Obstet)
This review examines the current status of molecular pathology studies, recent evidence on the clinical implications of STIC, new data on the use of opportunistic salpingectomy, and published patient outcomes since then. The question of whether the potential benefit of opportunistic salpingectomy, outweighs the potential harms associated with surgical morbidity, which have not been conclusively excluded, should be revisited in light of these recent data.

The challenge of managing isolated STIC lesions: A single-center experience. (PubMed, Gynecol Oncol Rep)
One patient under active surveillance was diagnosed with peritoneal carcinomatosis 5 years after initial diagnosis of STIC whereas none recurred in the chemotherapy group. The wide variety of treatment approaches we observed highlights a need for more data on this entity to support management guidelines.

Primary Peritoneal Clear Cell Carcinoma Presenting with Nonspecific Gastrointestinal Symptoms in a 39-Year-Old Woman: A Case Report. (PubMed, Case Rep Gastroenterol)
She initially had headaches managed with ibuprofen...Given the rarity of PPCCC, our case highlights how increased clinical vigilance and prompt multidisciplinary efforts are essential for an accurate diagnosis, especially in younger patients to not delay management. Currently, there are no established management guidelines; however, initial treatment with surgical debulking followed by chemotherapy is often practiced.

When peritoneal tuberculosis mimics advanced ovarian cancer: A laparoscopic case from an endemic region. (PubMed, Radiol Case Rep)
This case underscores the need to consider peritoneal tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of young women with adnexal masses, ascites, and elevated CA-125 levels in endemic regions. Early histopathological confirmation via minimally invasive laparoscopy can avert unnecessary surgery and enable timely treatment.

Evaluation of Laboratory-Derived Immunohistochemical Assays for Folate Receptor α Expression in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer and Comparison With a Companion Diagnostic. (PubMed, Arch Pathol Lab Med)
These data highlight the need for caution in antibody selection when developing immunohistochemistry-based assays, as some antibodies failed to cleanly and specifically identify FRα expression. We identified 2 antibodies appropriate for further investigation; however, as developed, these antibodies may overselect patients for treatment with FRα-targeted therapies.

A Retrospective Study of 10 Cases of Laparoscopic and Laparotomic Risk-Reducing Salpingo-Oophorectomy Performed on Patients With BRCA-Positive Breast Cancer. (PubMed, Cureus)
It is difficult to observe the upper abdomen in laparotomic RRSO, whereas laparoscopy allows for visualization of the entire abdominal cavity and a shorter operative time; therefore, laparoscopic surgery is considered a viable option. Post-RRSO patient management requires follow-up to monitor for the development of peritoneal cancer, and in premenopausal women in particular, treatment and follow-up for any symptoms of menopause are needed; therefore, individualized care is required.

Case report of stage IIIC low-grade serous ovarian cancer in a 13-year-old female treated with novel therapy. (PubMed, Gynecol Oncol Rep)
Given the tumor's limited sensitivity to chemotherapy, she was treated with neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) using fulvestrant, palbociclib, and leuprolide. This case supports the potential role of endocrine-based targeted therapy in managing pediatric LGSOC, offering a viable alternative for patients with limited treatment options. Further research is needed to optimize treatment strategies and improve survival outcomes in this rare population.

Paired primary-metastasis patient-derived organoids and mouse models identify phenotypic evolution and druggable dependencies of peritoneal metastasis from appendiceal cancer. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Single cell profiling of AC-PC pairs reveals dedifferentiation from mucinous differentiated states in primary AC into intestinal stem cell and fetal progenitor states in AC-PC, with upregulation of oncogenic signaling pathways. Through hypothesis-driven drug testing, we identify KRAS MULTI -ON inhibitor RMC-7977 and Wnt-targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitor WNTinib as novel, clinically actionable strategies to target AC-PC more effectively.

Preoperative tumor marker elevations in colorectal cancer patients with peritoneal metastases should be used to help select patients for cytoreductive surgery. (PubMed, Eur J Surg Oncol)
Preoperative assessment of symptoms and histopathology, PCI and a complete CRS combined with tumor markers CEA, CA19-9 and CA125 are independent prognostic indicators for selection by the multidisciplinary team of CRC PM patients for CRS and HIPEC. All three tumor markers are needed for a meaningful assessment.

Median survival was 21 months for paclitaxel + platinum derivatives (PC), 27 months for PC + bevacizumab (BEV), and 30 months for PC + BEV + PARPi. However, variations in financial regulations and drug accessibility persist across countries. Despite these challenges, physicians should prioritize the most effective therapies available.

A Rare Case of Atypical Pelvic Retroperitoneal Lipoma Mimicking Liposarcoma; A Case Report and Review of Literature. (PubMed, Clin Case Rep)
The initial histological diagnosis was well-differentiated liposarcoma; however, subsequent molecular analysis showed no evidence of MDM2 amplification, suggesting a final diagnosis of benign lipoma. This case exemplifies diagnostic challenges in lipomatous retroperitoneal tumors, as well as the importance of inter-disciplinary collaboration in surgery to achieve the best surgical and oncological outcomes.
