Unlabelled:
There is limited information on borderline ovarian tumor detected intra-surgically and its most favorable treatment in relation with global radiation and climate changes.
Aim:
To study the pre-surgery and intra-surgery differentiation criteria of borderline ovarian tumors from invasive carcinoma, and to make a very complex analysis of the frequency, distribution, and variation in time of global radiation, temperature, and precipitation in North-East Romania.
Material And Method:
The 54 patients (age range 20-78 years, mean age 46 years) included in this study had borderline ovarian tumors surgically treated during the last 22 years (January 1988 - December 2009) at the 4th Gynecological Clinic at Iaşi, and representing 4.87% of the total 1107 ovarian tumors detected and treated during this interval. The histological types were: serous (18 cases), mucinous (27 cases), mixed (8 cases), and Brenner tumor (1 case). In order to analyze the impact of climate changes on borderline ovarian tumors a thorough study on the frequency of global radiation in relation with climate changes based on data recorded in the last 55 years was also carried out.
Results:
The distribution of these cases depending on when surgery was performed was analyzed. In our study the frequency of ovarian borderline tumors (4.87%) is lower than in similar reports in the literature being due, in our opinion, to the influence of global radiation in relation with climate changes.
Conclusions:
In our study global radiation is probably responsible for a progression to invasive carcinoma in 0.7% of the borderline ovarian tumors.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
