Ovarian Cancer
Abstract
This selection from the NCCN Guidelines
for Ovarian Cancer focuses on the less common ovarian histopathologies
(LCOHs), because
new algorithms were added for LCOHs and current
algorithms were revised for the 2016 update. The new LCOHs algorithms
include
clear cell carcinomas, mucinous carcinomas, and
grade 1 (low-grade) serous carcinomas/endometrioid epithelial
carcinomas.
The LCOHs also include carcinosarcomas (malignant
mixed Müllerian tumors of the ovary), borderline epithelial tumors (also
known as low malignant potential tumors), malignant sex cord-stromal tumors, and malignant germ cell tumors.
