The incidence of borderline ovarian tumors in Israel: a population-based study

Abstract

In hospital-based studies, one-eighth of ovarian cancers have been considered borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs). Population-based data regarding the incidence of BOTs are lacking in the international literature. The authors' objectives were to measure the incidence of BOT in Israel and compare rates among ethnic groups (based on ethnic group and country of birth) for the years 1985-1993. The authors analyzed data reported to a nationwide cancer registry. Population estimates by subpopulation were derived from census and intercensus estimates, which were based on an updated population registry. The age-adjusted standard rate (ASR) for the entire population was 10.6 per million (95% confidence interval [CI], 9.2-12.0) for the period 1985-1993. Significant differences in ASR were observed among ethnic subgroups, with the lowest incidence among non-Jews (ASR, 5.0 per million; 95% CI, 0.7-9.3) and the highest among new immigrants from the former Soviet Union (FSU) who had been arriving since 1989 (ASR, 22.7 per million; 95% CI: 14.2-31.3). Between the periods 1985-1989 and 1990-1993, the ASR for Jews nearly doubled (rate ratio, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.1-2.5). This near-doubling was influenced, but not wholly accounted for, by the immigration...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
