Endobronchial malignancy as a manifestation of advanced ovarian cancer recurrence: a case report and literature review.
Article in Translational cancer research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Endobronchial metastasis from primary ovarian cancer (OC) is very rare. To enhance our understanding of this disease, we present a case report and retrospective analysis of a patient with a bronchial tumor as a manifestation of primary OC recurrence. Case Description: A 51-year-old woman presented with a history of intermittent cough and expectoration over 3 months by suffocating pneumonia for 3 weeks. Chest X-ray revealed multiple nodular masses at the right upper lobe, soft tissue thickening with bronchial invasion in the left upper lobe, enlargement of the right and left upper hilar, spreading mediastinum, and elevated right septum. Bronchoscopy identified stenosis in the right main bronchus opening with obstruction of the apical, middle, and posterior segmental bronchi in the opening of left main bronchus by a visible neoplasm. Biopsy of the endobronchial lesion was akin to metastatic OC. Indeed, the patient was previously treated for advanced OC with enlarged left supraclavicular nodules [International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage 4B]. The treatment includes surgical resection of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, omentum, and left supraclavicular lymph nodes, as well as chemotherapy before and after surgery. Unfortunately, further chemotherapy was discontinued due to intolerance. Rapid disease progression occurred leading to her late self-referral and admission, decision for palliation, ultimately resulting in her demise. Conclusions: Flexible bronchoscopy combined with imaging and immunohistochemistry tests proves to be an effective diagnostic strategy for identifying endobronchial metastasis in OC patients. Endobronchial intervention, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy emerge as viable treatment modalities for these patients. The prognosis of OC patients with an endobronchial metastasis as a manifestation of recurrent disease should be considered in the context of their advanced disease despite available active treatment modalities.
