“…The age-specific incidence rates by histology subtype observed in this study showed patterns similar to those reported in previous studies based on data from the US Third National Cancer Survey (Weiss et al, 1977), the Danish Cancer Registry (Ewertz et al, 1988) and the Vaud Cancer Registry in Switzerland (Levi et al, 1993).…”

This study examined histology-specific incidence trends of ovarian cancer in Canada, 1969–1993. The impact of age, period and cohort effects on these trends were studied by means of age-period-cohort analysis. Age-standardized incidence rates of serous, endometrioid, clear cell and germ cell tumours increased significantly and the rates of sex cord-stromal and other classified epithelial ovarian tumours decreased considerably. The rates of mucinous and NOS/unclassified tumours remained unchanged. Cohort effect has a major impact on incidence trends of serous, endometrioid, germ cell, sex cord-stromal and other classified epithelial ovarian tumours but no meaningful impact on trends of mucinous, clear cell, or NOS/unclassified ovarian tumours. Various cohort patterns by histology subtypes were observed: the risk of developing serious tumours increased markedly among birth cohorts of 1895–1930, stabilized thereafter and decreased among young cohorts of 1950–1960; the risk of germ cell tumours increased significantly among young cohorts of 1965–1980; and the risk of sex cord-stromal tumours dropped constantly among cohorts 1910–1950. Various period patterns by histology subtypes observed in this study suggested changes in histology classification criteria over the period. Further studies need to consider the various etiologies and the classification criteria changes according to histology subtypes. © 1999 Cancer Research Campaign

Histopathological patterns of ovarian tumors at BPKIHS

Introduction: Ovarian tumors account for fifth most common cause of cancer related death in females involving a variety of histological diagnosis. It accounts for 6% of all cancers. Though it is one of the treatable cancers due to its sensitivity to anticancer therapies, it frequently does not result in symptoms until the cancer has spread extensively. Objectives: To study the incidence, histopathological spectrum and clinical correlates of ovarian tumours at B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS). Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken during a period of one year (1

“…Since 1976, a registration scheme, applying the same standardized rule as for incident malignancies, has been implemented for borderline ovarian tumours (Levi et al, 1993). Bilateral ovarian tumours (either synchronous or metachronous) are not registered separately, unless histologically different.…”

Borderline ovarian tumours in Vaud, Switzerland: incidence, survival and second neoplasms

et al. 1998

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Summary Between 1976 and 1996, 176 borderline ovarian tumours were registered in the Cancer Registry of the Swiss canton of Vaud, corresponding to an age-adjusted incidence (world standard) of 2.7 in 100 000. Incidence rose from 1.7 per 100 000 during 1976-81 to 2.7 per 100 000 during 1987-91, and then levelled off; 58% of cases were serous and 41% mucinous. Relative survival was 94% at 10 years; 18 second neoplasms were observed, compared with 10.3 expected, and there was a significant excess of invasive ovarian cancers (four observed, including three synchronous, compared with 0.4 expected).
