The clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes of primary expansile vs. infiltrative mucinous ovarian adenocarcinoma: a retrospective study sharing the experience of a tertiary centre.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mucinous ovarian carcinomas (MOCs) are rare ovarian tumours accounting for 3% of all epithelial ovarian carcinomas (EOCs). They are either expansile or infiltrative, based on the tumour's histological pattern of invasion. MOCs have a distinct molecular profile, natural history, chemo-sensitivity, and prognosis compared to other EOCs. The aim of this study was to describe patient and tumour characteristics, as well as survival outcomes of expansile and infiltrative primary MOCs.

Methods

This was a retrospective cohort study conducted at a tertiary cancer centre. Patients had surgery for primary MOC between Jul 1, 2010 and Oct 28, 2022. All patients discussed at the Oxford multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting with a diagnosis of MOC were included. We excluded patien
