## Background: The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the current practice of surgical staging of ovarian serous borderline tumors. ## Methods: Women with a diagnosis of ovarian serous borderline tumors whose pathology slides were sent to the m. d. anderson cancer center for second-opin
Background and Objectives: Peritoneal papillary serous carcinoma (PPSC) is histologically and clinically similar to stage III-IV ovarian papillary serous carcinoma (OPSC). The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical findings, treatment, and outcome of PPSC patients compared with stage

The aim of the current study was to investigate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) by neoplastic cells in patients with serous ovarian tumors. The correlation between neoangiogenesis and 72-kilodalton metalloproteinase (MMP2) immunostaining also was evaluated. ## METHODS.
The clinical behaviour of ovarian tumours of low malignant potential (LMP) is unpredictable and it has been suggested that the majority of these lesions have no invasive potential. This study has analysed 92 epithelial ovarian tumours [11 mucinous cystadenomas, 18 mucinous LMP tumours, 15 mucinous c
