Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze a series of occurrences of growing teratoma syndrome after ovarian germ cell tumors. METHODS We analyzed a database containing 103 patients affected by pure or mixed ovarian immature teratoma. RESULTS We report 12 patients fulfilling growing teratoma syndrome criteria (incidence 12%). The median interval between the diagnosis of ovarian immature teratoma and growing teratoma syndrome was 9 months (range 4-55). Growing teratoma syndrome was revealed by radiological examinations in nine cases (75%). In all cases but one, growing teratoma syndrome occurred in the site involved by the primary tumor. The peritoneum was the first site involved (10 cases, 83%). A complete surgical resection of the growing teratoma syndrome was done in eight cases. The median follow-up was 144 months. Four patients presented a late growing teratoma syndrome recurrence after treatment (second event), more than 5 years after the initial diagnosis, and 14 years later for one patient. All patients but one (lost to follow-up) were still alive at the end of the study. CONCLUSION The treatment of growing teratoma syndrome consists of the surgical resection of the tumor, as completely as possible. Because of the possibility of very late recurrence of growing teratoma syndrome, a prolonged follow-up of patients treated for ovarian immature teratoma is mandatory.

Abstract
Immunosuppressed renal transplant recipients (RTRs) are predisposed to non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs), predominantly squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). We have analyzed skin lesions from RTRs with aggressive tumors for p53 gene modifications, the presence of Human Papillomas Virus (HPV) DNA in relation to the p53 codon 72 genotype and polymorphisms of the XPD repair gene. We detected 24 p53 mutations in 15/25 (60%) NMSCs, 1 deletion and 23 base substitutions, the majority (78%) being UV-specific C to T transitions at bipyrimidine sites. Importantly, 35% (6/17) are tandem mutations, including 4 UV signature CC to TT transitions possibly linked to modulated DNA repair caused by the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A (CsA). We found 8 p53 mutations in 7/17 (41%) precancerous actinic keratosis (AK), suggesting that p53 mutations are early events in RTR skin carcinogenesis. Immunohistochemical analysis shows a good correlation between p53 accumulation and mutations. HPV DNA was detected in 78% of skin lesions (60% Basal Cell Carcinomas, 82%AK and 79% SCCs). Thus, immunosuppression has increased the risk of infections by HPVs, predominantly epidermodysplasia verruciformis, speculated to play a role in skin cancer development. No association is found between HPV status and p53 mutation. Moreover, p53 codon 72 or frequencies of three XPD genotypes of RTRs are comparable with control populations. The p53 mutation spectrum, presenting a high level of CC to TT mutations, shows that the UV component of sunlight is the major risk factor and modulated DNA repair by immunosuppressive drug treatment may be significant in the skin carcinogenesis of RTRs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conservative surgery is currently proposed for young patients with borderline ovarian tumours (BOT). For those experiencing infertility, the question of medically assisted procreation is raised. We have evaluated in vitro the proliferation of cultured BOT cells in response to FSH or estradiol (E(2)). METHODS Primary cell cultures were prepared from BOT. The presence of FSH and E(2) receptors was evaluated by immunochemistry. Cultures in vitro were stimulated with FSH (40 and 200 mUI/ml) or E(2) (300 and 2000 pg/ml) for 96 h and proliferation was evaluated with the WST-1 test. RESULTS Four primary cultures were obtained that expressed FSH and E(2) receptors to different extents. Growth was generally similar to controls when treated with either FSH or E(2) although 300 pg/ml E(2) caused a significant inhibitory effect on cell proliferation (P = 0.035). CONCLUSION No stimulatory effect of FSH or E(2) on cultured BOT cells was found, despite the presence of receptors. Although preliminary, these results suggest that gonadotrophins and E(2) could be used in patients experiencing infertility after conservative surgery.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Only a few drugs are active in the treatment of well-differentiated endocrine carcinomas (WDEC). We evaluated the combination of the so-called 'de Gramont schedule' and irinotecan in these tumors in a phase II study. METHODS 20 patients were enrolled in the study. The combination regimen included irinotecan, 180 mg/m(2) on day 1, followed by 200 mg/m(2) folinic acid in a 2-hour infusion, an intravenous 10-min bolus of 400 mg/m(2) 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and finally 600 mg/m(2) 5FU in a 22-hour infusion. Folinic acid and 5FU were repeated on day 2. Clinical, biological and morphological parameters were assessed by CT every 8 weeks. The site of the primary tumor was the pancreas in 10 cases, the lung in 3 cases and other sites in 7 cases. Sixteen patients had previously received chemotherapy, and 6 of them had had two lines of treatment. Six patients had previously been treated with chemoembolization. RESULTS The median number of cycles administered was 8. Grade 3-4 neutropenia was observed in 8 patients, and 1 patient experienced febrile neutropenia. There was no toxicity-related death. No complete symptomatic response was observed in 7 evaluable patients; 4 patients had an objective biological response. One patient achieved a morphological objective response, stabilization was observed in 15, but progression occurred in 3 patients. Median survival was 15 months. CONCLUSION The above-mentioned combination of LV5FU2 + irinotecan does not yield major activity in heavily pretreated unresectable metastatic gastroenteropancreatic WDEC, and significant toxicity was observed.

Abstract
CONTEXT Conflicting data have been reported regarding the presence of a constitutive activation of Galphas in ovarian granulosa cell tumors (OGCTs). Although the precise role of this mutation in the transformation of ovarian cells into malignant cells remains debatable, it has been demonstrated in other tissues that the rate of cell proliferation and invasiveness can be influenced by the gsp oncogene. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine whether activating mutations of Galphas or Galphai are present in juvenile OGCTs and, if so, whether these mutations are significant prognostic factors. DESIGN AND SETTING This was a multicentric nationwide study. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty children with juvenile OGCT were included from the malignant germinal tumor protocol of the French Society for Childhood Cancer. Genetic studies of the tumoral DNA used nested PCR, laser microdissection, and direct sequencing. RESULTS Galphas-activating mutations in hot spot position 201 were found in nine patients (30%). Laser microdissection confirmed that mutations R201C and R201H were exclusively localized in the tumoral granulosa cells and were absent in the ovarian stroma. Patients with a hyperactivated Galphas exhibited a significantly more advanced tumor (P < 0.05) because seven of them (77.7%) were staged as Ic or had had a recurrence. Galphai did not exhibit any mutation. CONCLUSIONS Activating mutations of Galphas are present in 30% of juvenile OGCTs. The gsp oncogene, which is known to be implicated in cell proliferation and tumoral invasiveness, can be considered as a new prognostic factor of these tumors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report on ovarian carcinoma development after cystectomy for a borderline mucinous ovarian tumor. DESIGN Case report. SETTING A French comprehensive cancer center. PATIENT(S) One patient who developed recurrence in the form of an invasive ovarian carcinoma after simple cystectomy for a borderline mucinous ovarian tumor. INTERVENTION(S) Simple cystectomy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Clinical outcome. RESULT(S) A 22-year-old nulliparous patient underwent laparoscopic cystectomy. Histological examination revealed a borderline mucinous ovarian tumor. No additional treatment was prescribed. Two years later, the patient relapsed with a malignant mucinous ovarian carcinoma. She underwent surgical resection and staging, including hysterectomy, bilateral adnexectomy, omentectomy, and pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy, and platinum-based chemotherapy. CONCLUSION(S) Recurrence in the form of invasive ovarian carcinoma may occur in the same ovary after cystectomy in cases of borderline mucinous ovarian tumor. An approach combining systematic unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and strict monitoring is preferable to simple cystectomy. Such treatment enables preservation of reproductive potential and reduces the risk of developing invasive carcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by developmental abnormalities and cancer predisposition. The PTCH 1 gene, the human homolog of the Drosophila segment polarity gene patched, has been shown to be involved in the development of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. PTCH 1 is mapped to chromosome 9q22.3. The aim of the present study was to report on clinical and genetic characteristics in patients followed for nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome and to compare them to the data in the literature. PATIENTS AND METHODS Screening for PTCH 1 mutations was done in 22 patients followed between 1981 and 2003 for clinical suspicion of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. Clinical and radiological data were reviewed retrospectively from records. Genetic analysis was performed using blood samples after patient informed consent was obtained. When possible, DNA was also analyzed from the parents of patients in whom PTCH 1 mutations were found. RESULTS All patients had developed basal cell carcinomas: 45% palmar and plantar pitting, 62% jaw cysts and 66% calcification of falx cerebri. Medulloblastomas and meningiomas were the most common associated tumors. PTCH 1 mutations were identified in 13 patients: 6 familial cases, 3 sporadic cases and for 4 patients, it was not possible to conclude. Nine different new germ-line mutations were identified. DISCUSSION Genetic analysis allows molecular confirmation of diagnosis in about half of all patients. Early diagnosis is essential for detection of clinical and radiological manifestations in young patients and for provision of advice concerning protection of the skin from the sunlight.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is a rare cutaneous neoplasm, with a high rate of local recurrences. OBJECTIVE A series of MAC was analyzed and compared to previously published cases. METHODS Seven cases of MAC were identified in the register of the institution. Medical and pathological records were reviewed. RESULTS The primary MAC were located on the face in all patients, and 85% were initially misdiagnosed. The mean follow-up duration was 108 months. The recurrence rate was high: 4 patients developed recurrences. In 3 patients, the course of the disease was severe: one of them developed pathologically proven lung metastasis. CONCLUSION The present study and review of the literature confirm the clinically aggressive evolution of MAC and its rare ability to give rise to metastasis. Long-term clinical follow-ups with imaging investigations are mandatory.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is the most frequent gynaecological cancer worldwide. Incidence is decreasing in industrialized countries but remains high in poorest countries. In metastatic or recurrent disease, the treatment is more often palliative. Chemotherapy yields some efficiency in non-irradiated fields but the benefit should be balanced with the treatment toxicities. In this setting, cisplatin is considered as the drug of reference, but responses rates are poor. So far, combined chemotherapy has not been shown better than cisplatin alone. Recently, results for cisplatin associated with topotecan appear to be promising while used for treatment in metastatic or recurrent disease. However, the bad prognosis of this illness leads to keep on looking for better treatments. Targeted therapeutics and immunotherapy against human papilloma virus could bear significant progress for treatment of cervical cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE We report computed tomography (CT) findings in 13 patients with a primary abdominal desmoplastic small round cell tumor. MATERIALS AND METHODS 13 cases (12 men, 1 woman, mean age=24.8 years) were found in our hospital database between 1991 and 2003. Clinical, CT and histopathological features were studied retrospectively. RESULTS Peritoneal involvement was the most common feature. In 10 cases, several lobulated peritoneal soft tissue masses (with a mean of four masses per patient) were seen. Two patients had diffused irregular peritoneal carcinomatosis without any distinct peritoneal masses. One patient had a solitary mass in the pelvic space. The main sites of peritoneal involvement were the pelvic space (n=7), omentum (n=5), retroperitoneal space (n=4), small bowel mesentery (n=3), paracolic gutter (n=2 on the right and n=1 on the left), transverse colon mesentery (n=1), peri-splenic space (n=1), peri-hepatic space (n=1). The soft tissue masses were often bulky (mean 6cm, range 1-28cm), lobulated and heterogeneous with hypodense areas (in 73% of cases). In six cases, moderate ascites was seen. In one case of pelvic involvement, unilateral hydronephrosis was seen. Adenopathies were present in seven cases at the time of the diagnosis (at intraperitoneal, retroperitoneal and pelvic sites in six patients and in the groin in one patient). Five patients had liver metastases (four lesions per case excepted one patient with 30 metastases). Associated thoracic metastases were seen in three patients. The diagnosis was confirmed with four CT-guided percutaneous biopsies. CONCLUSION Although CT features are nonspecific, the diagnosis of desmoplastic small round cell tumor may be suspected in young men with multiple bulky heterogeneous peritoneal soft tissue masses. Imaging is useful for staging and also to guide biopsies.

Abstract
Intraoperative sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection has been reported for colon cancer, but no study has focused on rectal cancer. Only an ex vivo technique can be performed easily in this location. We evaluated SLN detection using blue dye injection in patients with rectal adenocarcinoma. This prospective study included 31 patients. Preoperative radiotherapy (45 Gy) was done in 15 cases. After proctectomy the surgical specimen was examined in the operating room. Submucosal peritumoral injections were done. One to three SLNs were retrieved. The SLNs were sectioned at three levels and examined histologically and then, if negative by hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC). There were 7 abdominoperineal resections, 12 colorectal anastomoses, 11 coloanal anastomoses, and 1 Hartmann procedure. The median number of lymph nodes harvested was 21 (7-38). A SLN was identified in 30 cases (feasibility 97%). The mean number of SLNs was 2 (0-3). A micrometastasis was discovered in 3 of 23 pNO cases when H&E was used on multisection levels, thus changing the stage to pN1. Each time the only positive lymph node was the SLN. IHC evaluation did not change the result, as only isolated tumor cells were discovered in one case. Only four of seven N+ patients had a positive SLN, resulting in a false-negative rate of 43%. Ex vivo detection of SLNs is possible for rectal cancer and is a simple technique. Classic analysis using H&E remains the gold standard. However, SLNs detection can change the tumor stage by upstaging nearly 15% of the tumors from T2-3N0 to T2-3 N+.

Abstract
AIM To determine the incidence and predictive value of residual disease in the hysterectomy specimens of cervical cancer patients treated with primary radiotherapy, with or without chemotherapy, followed by surgery and to determine whether pathologically confirmed residual disease is a surrogate marker of outcome. METHODS The medical records of patients treated for stage IB/II carcinoma of the cervix in a single institution between 1985 and 2000 were retrospectively analysed into two different groups, depending on whether they had received radiotherapy or concurrent chemo-radiotherapy. Six to 8 weeks after irradiation, all patients underwent radical or extrafascial hysterectomy and pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy. RESULTS A total of 403 patients were included in the study (360 in the radiotherapy only group and 43 in the chemo-radiotherapy group). One hundred and seventy-eight patients had residual disease on hysterectomy specimens in the radiotherapy group. Considering only the stages IB2 and II, 126 (52%) and 16 (37%) patients had residual disease on hysterectomy specimens in the radiotherapy group and in the chemo-radiotherapy group, respectively (P=0.08). Residual disease was associated with pelvic and para-aortic nodal metastases. The 5-year local control and overall survival rates were 88 and 86%, respectively, in the patients with complete pathologic response and 73 and 62%, respectively, in the patients with residual disease (P<0.001). In multivariate analysis, FIGO stage, residual disease, and pathologic nodal involvement were independent predictive factors of both local recurrence and overall survival. CONCLUSION Pathologically confirmed residual disease on hysterectomy specimen is an independent and strong predictive factor of both local recurrence and overall survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to assess the clinical outcomes of laparoscopic treatment of borderline ovarian tumor (BOT). PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of 54 patients treated using a laparoscopic approach for a BOT between January 1984 and January 2002. RESULTS A conservative management was initially performed in 45 patients (83%). Twenty-six patients underwent a reassessment surgery and 7 (27%) of them were upstaged following this procedure. Seven (13%) patients recurred in a remaining ovary following conservative surgery (5 patients) or on the peritoneum (2 patients). Three port-site localizations were observed. None of the patients treated with conservative management had recurrent disease under the form of ovarian carcinoma. Nine spontaneous pregnancies were observed in 6 patients from a group of 19 patients desiring pregnancy. All patients are today alive and disease-free. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Our study suggests that laparoscopic treatment could be safely performed in young patients with early stage BOT. Such procedure should be further evaluated in patients with BOT and peritoneal implants.

Abstract
Half of colorectal tumors with microsatellite instability contain frameshift mutations in the (G)8 tract of bax, a major apoptosis effector, but their functional significance remains unclear. We studied the role of bax mutations on bax expression and apoptosis in 59 primary colorectal cancers of which 41 were microsatellite unstable. Tumors were screened for bax(G)8 mutations and evaluated immunohistochemically for bax, bcl-2, and p53 protein expression and apoptotic (M30 cytoDEATH) and proliferative (Ki-67) indexes. We identified bax(G)8 mutations in 20 (49%) of 41 unstable tumors; the mutations were associated significantly with proximal, poorly differentiated, or mucinous adenocarcinomas. Most bax-mutated cases displayed a bax-immunonegative zone in all or part of the tumor that was proved to correspond to biallelic bax(G)8 mutations by microdissection and to confer growth advantage to the tumor by decreasing apoptosis compared with adjacent bax-immunopositive tumor. Biallelic bax(G)8 mutations are subject to positive selection pressure and might disable apoptosis in colorectal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin often raise difficult therapeutic problems. Few data are available about the expression of EGFR and HER-2 in SCC of the skin. Overexpression of EGFR and of HER-2 proteins has been reported. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of EGFR and HER-2 in a series of metastatic SCC of the skin. PATIENTS AND METHODS EGFR and HER-2 expression was studied by immunochemistry on 13 specimens of metastatic recurrence and on 2 primary lesions of these tumours. RESULTS EGFR had a strong membranous expression in all specimens. HER-2 was weakly expressed in 4 specimens, with a membrane expression in 2 cases. CONCLUSION In the present study, EGFR was overexpressed in all samples of metastatic SCCs of the skin. Therefore, these metastatic tumours appear to be suitable targets for treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Additional studies are warranted to establish whether or not HER-2 is expressed in SCC of the skin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Results of conservative management of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remain controversial in the literature. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical outcomes and fertility following fertility-sparing surgical management of EOC in a retrospective multicentre study. METHODS A multicentre retrospective study was performed by members of two French groups. Six inclusion criteria were defined: (i) Histological review by the same pathologist; (ii) age < or =40 years; (iii) conservative management; (iv) complete peritoneal staging; (v) delivery of a platinum-based chemotherapy in stage > or = IC; and (vi) follow-up >1 year. RESULTS Thirty-four patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria: 30 had stage IA disease; three had stage IC and one had stage IIA. Eleven patients had recurrence: 10 patients had invasive disease and one had borderline recurrence. Among 10 patients with invasive recurrence, initial stage and grade were: stage IA G1, n = 1; stage IA G2, n = 4; stage IA G3, n = 1; and stage> or = IC, n = 4. All patients with stage > IA had recurrence. Ten pregnancies were observed in nine patients. CONCLUSION Conservative surgery for patients with EOC could be considered in young patients with stage IA G1 disease. This procedure should not be performed in patients with FIGO stage > IA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) in association with endocrine carcinomas (EC) is generally considered to have no impact on life expectancy, contrary to liver metastases. This study was aimed at assessing the actual prognostic impact of PC and to evaluate a new treatment with respect to survival times. PATIENTS AND METHODS Among 111 patients undergoing surgery for progressive, well-differentiated EC, 37 (33%) presented a histologically proven PC, with synchronous liver metastases in 36 of them. The origin was ileal or appendiceal (carcinoid tumors) in at least 81% of cases. The patients were divided into 2 groups. Patients in group 1 (n = 20) could not undergo complete resection of PC, while those in group 2 (n = 17) underwent complete cytoreductive surgery, followed by immediate intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Partial hepatectomy was performed in 65% of patients in group 2. The median follow-up was 6.9 years. RESULTS There was no postoperative mortality, and the morbidity rate was 47%. In group 1, 15 of the 20 patients died (5-year survival rate, 40.9%). Deaths were caused either by liver failure (60% of patients) or bowel obstruction from PC (40%). In group 2, six of the 17 patients died (5-year survival rate, 66.2%; P = .007). These patients died of liver failure (n = 4, 23.5%), bowel obstruction (n = 1, 5.8%), and cerebral hemorrhage (n = 1, 5.8%). CONCLUSIONS PC associated with EC is not a rare event; it is mainly caused by carcinoid tumors and is always associated with liver metastases. When present, PC is the direct cause of death in 40% of patients if no specific treatment is undertaken. Treatment of PC with maximal cytoreductive surgery and immediate intraperitoneal chemotherapy appears promising, even though it can only be considered as palliative.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to assess the clinical outcomes of laparoscopic treatment of borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) with peritoneal implants. METHODS Retrospective analysis of patients treated initially and/or for recurrent disease using a laparoscopic approach for a stage II or stage III BOT between January 2001 and January 2004. RESULTS Nine patients underwent a laparoscopic pure treatment of stage II/III serous borderline tumor. Three of them had a previous history of BOT. Three patients had a stage II and 6 a stage III disease. A conservative management was performed in 7 patients. Laparoscopic treatment of peritoneal implants included: omentectomy (or omental biopsies) in 4 patients and/or large peritoneal resection in 5 patients (pelvic peritoneum in all patients associated with peritonectomies of paracolic gutters in 2 and of the peritoneum of the right diaphragmatic peritoneum in 3). Implants were nonivasive in 8 patients. Each of implant had a size <5 mm. Four patients recurred, 3 of them had a borderline ovarian recurrence after conservative management. Two patients had peritoneal disease found during a second-look surgery (associated with ovarian recurrence in 1). Three spontaneous pregnancies were observed. All patients are alive without evidence of disease with a median time of follow-up of 35 months following the laparoscopic treatment. CONCLUSION Our series suggests that laparoscopic treatment of patients with BOT associated with small size non-invasive implants is feasible and seem to be safe. The main indication of this management consists in young patients treated conservatively to preserve their fertility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the rates and topography of pelvic and para-aortic nodal involvement in patients with stage III or IV primary peritoneal serous papillary carcinoma (PSPC). METHODS Retrospective review of 19 women who underwent a systematic bilateral pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy. RESULTS The overall frequency of lymph node involvement was 63% (12/19). Eighteen patients underwent complete resection of peritoneal disease. Only 4 patients underwent this procedure as part of their initial surgery (before chemotherapy). The frequency of pelvic and para-aortic metastases was 58% (11/19) and 58% (11/19), respectively. When para-aortic nodes were involved, the left para-aortic chain above the level of the inferior mesenteric artery was the site most frequently involved (72%). The event-free survival of the 18 patients without macroscopic disease at the end of debulking surgery was significantly correlated with the nodal status. None of the patients with positive nodes developed recurrent disease in abdominal nodes. CONCLUSIONS The rate of nodal involvement in patients with PSPC is high. The topography of nodal spread is similar to that of ovarian cancer. Lymphadenectomy has a prognostic value.
