Is omentectomy mandatory in the operation for ovarian cancer?
This study suggests the possibility that the omentum has a role in capturing cancer cells and suppressing further peritoneal dissemination. Therefore, although omentectomy is rewarding if disseminated foci are present in the omentum, it is suggested that the timing of omentectomy requires reconsideration in the absence of omental metastasis.
Our data identify CENPF as a new centriolar disease gene implicated in severe human ciliopathy and microcephaly related phenotypes. CENP-F has a novel putative function in ciliogenesis and cortical neurogenesis.
