Background:
- Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) represents <1% of all Ovarian cancers (OC) and is associated with poor prognosis
- It is thought to arise predominantly from malignant transformation of mature cystic teratomas (MCT) but can also arise from Brenner’s tumors (BT) and endometriosis
- This study seeks to identify prognostic factors and molecular markers associated with OSCC compared to Endometrioid OC (EOC), Clear Cell OC (CCOC), HPV16/18-negative vulvar SCC (VSCC) and HPV16/18-negative cervical SCC (CSCC)
