Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women in the United States. Treatment options are wide-‐ ranging based on a multitude of factors, including extent of disease and receptor positivity. Following treatment, a relapse-‐free interval ≥ 2 years carries a more favorable prognosis.
We present a case involving a female with history of breast cancer and relapse-free interval of 15 years who unfortunately presented with metastatic disease involving the liver, bone, and lymph nodes.

Background: Ovarian carcinoma is not a single disease, but rather a collection of subtypes with differing molecular properties and risk profiles. The most common of these, and the subject of this work, is high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC).
Methods: In this population-based study we identified a cohort of 441,382 women resident in Western Australia who had ever been admitted to hospital in the State. Of these, 454 were diagnosed with HGSC. We used Cox regression to derive hazard ratios (HRs) comparing the risk of disease in women who had each of a range of medical diagnoses and surgical procedures with …
