Mucinous ovarian carcinoma (MOC) is a rare histological type of epithelial ovarian cancer. It has poor response to conventional platinum-based chemotherapy regimens and PARPi-based maintenance treatment, resulting in short survival and poor prognosis in advanced-disease patients. MOC is characterized by mucus that is mainly composed of mucin in the cystic cavity. Our review discusses in detail the role of mucins in MOC. Mucins are correlated with MOC development. Furthermore, they are valuable in the differential diagnosis of primary and secondary ovarian mucinous tumors. Some types of mucins have been studied in the context of chemoresistance and targeted therapy for ovarian cancer. This review may provide a new direction for the diagnosis and treatment of advanced MOC.
黏液性卵巢癌(MOC)是上皮性卵巢癌中一种罕见的组织学类型。它对传统的铂类化疗方案和基于PARPi的维持治疗反应不佳,导致晚期疾病患者生存期短且预后不良。MOC的特征是囊肿腔内主要由黏蛋白组成的黏液。我们的综述详细讨论了黏蛋白在MOC中的作用。黏蛋白与MOC的发生相关。此外,它们在原发性和继发性卵巢黏液性肿瘤的鉴别诊断中具有重要价值。一些类型的黏蛋白已在卵巢癌的化疗耐药性和靶向治疗方面进行了研究。本综述可能为晚期MOC的诊断和治疗提供新的方向。
