| The topic was selected based on a review of past topics and discussion by the Executive Committee of subjects that would be of greatest interest to the practicing pathologist focusing on those areas that are most controversial and difficult. Invasive carcinoma of the ovary was chosen because it is an important area in diagnostic surgical pathology. Considerable new information has accumulated and it will fill a need that pathologists in clinical practice face on a regular basis. The goal is to provide new information concerning the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer based on recent morphological and molecular genetic studies and to discuss problematic issues relating to the grading and histotyping of surface epithelial tumors of the ovary. |
