    The different histological types of ovarian cancer

    The WHO classification separates several types and subtypes. Epithelial tumors can be benign, borderline, or malignant.

    Epithelial tumors are most common in adults.
    When it comes to cancers, serous tumors are the most common.
    Among them, high-grade serous cancers are the most frequent.

    Conversely, many malignant ovarian tumors are rare diseases: mucinous cancers, clear cell cancers, low-grade serous cancers, non-epithelial tumors. It is then recommended to use the help of the national network of rare gynecological tumors for their care (www.ovaire-rare.org).

    Common epithelial tumors
    • Serous tumours
    • Mucinous tumours
    • Endometrioid tumours
    • Clear cell adenocarcinomas
    • Brenner tumours

    • Undifferentiated carcinomas

    Non-epithelial tumours
    Tumors of the mesenchyme and sex cords
    • Granulosa and stromal cell tumours
    A. Granulosa tumours

    • Sertoli-Leydig tumours
    • Cord tumor with annealed tubules
    • Gynandroblastoma

    Germ cell tumors
    • Dysgerminoma
    • Endodermal sinus tumour
    • Embryonic carcinoma
    • Polyembryoma
    • Choriocarcinoma
    • Immature teratoma

About us

After 20 years spent at the Georges Pompidou European Hospital, I preferred to continue my activity at the Institut Curie Paris.

I joined the team of Pr Fabien REYAL (Department of Senological, Gynecological and Reconstructive Surgery)

I follow my activity of Gynecological Oncological Surgery and Recourse Surgery there.

The objective remains to provide the best possible care to women with gynecological cancers,
  - By ensuring the welcome, listening and respect for the quality of life,
  - By providing access to therapeutic innovation and clinical research.
  - Consultations take place on Wednesday afternoon and Friday morning.
