A total of 24 of the remaining ovarian tumors were borderline tumors of any type (10 were mucinous borderline and 14 were serous borderine), and 20 cases were classified as others (mixed epithelial tumors, undifferantiated carcinoma, clear cell carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma, and carcinosarcoma). In a recent study, we showed that loss of polarity of CD24 expression in advanced ovarian borderline tumors was correlated with the advanced stage of the tumors.
