Parenchymal liver metastasis in advanced ovarian cancer: Can bowel involvement influence the frequency and the related mortality rate?
2023, European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive BiologyCitation Excerpt :However, the mechanism behind the haematogenous PLM formation is not well explored. It is not surprising that OC, invading the bowel from the serosal surface, easily conquer the lymph-vascular channels and venous streams highly concentrated in the subserosal space [6]. Naxerova et al. [20] conducted a study on the mutation patterns between primary tumours, lymph nodes and distant metastases in CRC with the aim to discriminate the possible relationship between these entities.

2019, European Journal of Surgical OncologyPrognostic factors for and prognostic value of mesenteric lymph node involvement in advanced-stage ovarian cancer
2012, European Journal of Surgical OncologyCitation Excerpt :Among the 24 resections with involved lymph nodes at the pathological analysis, 81% percent of cases with positive mesenteric nodes had lymphovascular space involvement (LVSI).15 Patients with such spread tend to fail sooner (median survival duration of 20 months versus 32 months in patients without involved mesenteric lymph nodes).15 At the end of their publication, the authors suggested that surgical resection of the mesentery should be similar to that performed in patients with primary bowel carcinoma in order to debulk residual metastatic nodes “remaining” in the unresected meso to zero visible residual disease.15
Douglas peritonectomy compared to recto-sigmoid resection in optimally cytoreduced advanced ovarian cancer patients: Analysis of morbidity and oncological outcome
2011, European Journal of Surgical OncologyCitation Excerpt :Thus, establishing an adequate pre-operative and/or intraoperative work-up is of the upmost importance in identifying which ovarian cancer patients will require colorectal surgery. Regarding mesocolic lymphnode status, in contrast to data reported in other literature,37 we did not observe any significant difference in oncologic outcome between patients with positive and negative mesorectal lymphnodes. However, since mesocolic lymphnode are often involved, we believe that, in the context of AOC complete cytoreduction, debulking procedures should include a sigmoid mesocolectomy with resection of the associated lymphatic tributaries at the time of RR, as performed for intestinal carcinoma.
