The Development of F Fluorthanatrace: A PET Radiotracer for Imaging Poly (ADP-Ribose) Polymerase-1.

Jan 31, 2022

Fluorine 18 (F) fluorthanatrace (F-FTT) is a PET radiotracer for imaging poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), an important target for a class of drugs known as PARP inhibitors, o...

KHDRBS3 promotes paclitaxel resistance and induces glycolysis through modulated MIR17HG/CLDN6 signaling in epithelial ovarian cancer.

Jan 24, 2022

Paclitaxel (PTX) resistance contributes to mortality in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Aerobic glycolysis is elevated in the tumor environment and may influence resistance to PTX in EOC. KH domain-c...

Targeted delivery of exosomal miR-484 reprograms tumor vasculature for chemotherapy sensitization.

Jan 24, 2022

The vascular dysfunction of ovarian cancer (OC) contributes to the chemotherapeutic resistance. In this study, we aimed to explore whether exosome-mediated angiogenesis blocking could improve the chem...

Advocating for equitable management of hereditary cancer syndromes.

Jan 17, 2022

The potential for preventive medicine to lead to more equitable health outcomes exists with the inclusion of genetic testing in medicine. Because of the medical implications of genetic testing for he...

Identification of novel discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1) inhibitors using E-pharmacophore modeling, structure-based virtual screening, molecular dynamics simulation and MM-GBSA approaches.

Jan 17, 2022

Dysregulation of the discoidin domain receptor (DDR1), a collagen-activated receptor tyrosine kinase, has been linked to several human cancer diseases including non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), ...

RNA biomarkers from proximal liquid biopsy for diagnosis of ovarian cancer.

Jan 10, 2022

Most ovarian cancer patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage and have a high mortality rate. Current screening strategies fail to improve prognosis because markers that are sensitive for early stag...

Role of sentinel lymph node biopsy for gynecologic cancers.

Jan 03, 2022

To provide an overview of the current knowledge and recent advances of sentinel lymph node (SLN) assessment in uterine, cervical, vulvar, and ovarian cancers.In endometrial cancer, SLN evaluation has ...

DIAPH1 facilitates paclitaxel-mediated cytotoxicity of ovarian cancer cells.

Jan 03, 2022

The chemotherapeutic agent paclitaxel (PTX) selectively binds to and stabilizes microtubule (MTs). Also, the activated formin Diaphanous Related Formin 1 (DIAPH1) binds to MTs and increases its stabil...

Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4, a targetable oncoantigen that promotes ovarian cancer growth, invasion, cisplatin resistance and spheroid formation.

Dec 27, 2021

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a highly heterogeneous disease encompassing several distinct molecular subtypes and clinical entities. Despite the initial success of surgical debulking and adjuvant...

Risks factors for anastomotic leakage in advanced ovarian cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Dec 27, 2021

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to summarise the available evidence on the pre- and intra-operative risk factors for anastomotic leakage (AL) after bowel resection and anastomosis for o...

The risk of distant metastases in patients with gynecologic cancers after surgery: a population-based study.

Dec 20, 2021

The aim of the study was to determine the risk of distant metastases in patients with gynecologic cancers after surgery, including cervical, uterine and ovarian cancers. This is a retrospective study ...

How tamoxifen (sometimes) induces uterine cancer: affecting the PI3K pathway

Dec 15, 2021

Long-term use of tamoxifen is associated with an increased risk for the development of uterine cancer. New research shows that tamoxifen directly activates a signaling pathway (PIK3) that is a well-kn...

Updated results from RxPONDER confirm importance of menopausal status on treatment efficacy

Dec 14, 2021

The phase 3 RxPONDER trial evaluated the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy followed by endocrine therapy in women with HR-positive, HER2-negative, early-stage breast cancer and 1–3 positive nodes. Up...

Curcumin derivative ST09 modulates the miR-199a-5p/DDR1 axis and regulates proliferation and migration in ovarian cancer cells.

Nov 29, 2021

Ovarian cancers are among the fatal malignancies affecting women globally, mainly due to their metastatic and chemoresistant nature. In this study, we report a potent curcumin derivative ST09 effectiv...

Multispectral label-free Raman spectroscopy can detect gynecologic cancer with high accuracy.

Nov 29, 2021

Up to 70% of ovarian cancer patients are diagnosed with advanced-stage disease and the degree of cytoreduction is an important survival prognostic factor. The aim of this study was to evaluate if Rama...

Liquid biopsy for ovarian cancer using circulating tumor cells: Recent advances on the path to precision medicine.

Nov 22, 2021
