Impact of mutational status on survival in low-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary or peritoneum

open access

 ....Although low-grade serous carcinoma is associated with superior survival outcomes compared with high-grade serous carcinoma and other high-grade ovarian cancers, such as clear cell and high-grade endometrioid subtypes, nevertheless, over 70% of women with low-grade serous carcinoma relapse and ultimately succumb to their cancer. Thus, it is important that we continue to concentrate on better understanding the biology of this rare subtype while concomitantly working toward improving treatment.
