In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Pedro Ramirez, is joined by Dr. Elvio Silva to discuss precursors of ovarian cancer. Dr. Silva received a medical degree from the Universidad de La Plata and has been a faculty member at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center since 1980. He had pathology residences in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and University of Toronto, Canada and is the former President of the International Society of Gynecological Pathologists.
Highlights:
- Most ovarian serous tumors originate in the ovarian stroma.
- Ovarian serous tumors originate in the epithelium of inclusion cysts or in epithelial areas that appear in the stroma due to mesenchymal-epithelial transition.
- Mesenchymal-epithelial transition in serous tumors mimics the development of the Mullerian duct from the celomic mesenchyma.
