Classification of ovarian cancer much, here we adopt a tissue-based and clinically practical significance of the classification.
Ovarian cancer are as follows:
(A) of the embryonic epithelium (Vice-body cavity in the kidney epithelial) origin of ovarian cancer: such as serous adenocarcinoma, mucinous adenocarcinoma, endometrial adenocarcinoma, mixed serous mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, fiber adenocarcinoma, malignant Bole Na s sarcoma, deputy in renal clear cell carcinoma, undifferentiated (anaplastic) carcinoma, these tumors sometimes luteinizing effect.
(B) of the embryonic origin of ovarian cancer cells: cancer, such as birth defects, primary choriocarcinoma, dysgerminoma, and sometimes that secrete hormones.
(C) of the source of undifferentiated mesenchymal ovarian cancer: benign tumors, such as 1 to 6 with the same name neoplasm, malignant mixed mesodermal tumors, cancer, neoplasia.
(D) differentiation of mesenchymal origin of ovarian cancer: a result arising from the body with the function of hormones, also known as functional tumors are malignant potential.
1. Feminine mesenchymoma: a granulosa cell tumor; theca cell tumor; granulosa – follicular cell tumors.
2. Masculine mesenchymoma: a cell tumor with testicular; cell tumor of the door.
3. Androgynous; gender neuroblastoma.
(E) occurs in the kidney from the vestiges of ovarian cancer: such as malignant tumors in the kidney.
(F) occurs within the ectopic ovarian tissue from ovarian cancer: malignant adrenal tumor cell remnant
Ovarian cancer classification, so it should do a careful examination of patients before treatment.
