Radiation Risk of Ovarian Cancer in Atomic Bomb Survivors: 1958-2009.

Nov 16, 2020

There is limited evidence concerning the association between radiation exposure and ovarian cancer. We evaluated radiation risk of ovarian cancer between 1958 and 2009 among 62,534 female atomic bomb ...

MicroRNA-134-3p inhibits ovarian cancer progression by targeting flap structure-specific endonuclease 1 in vitro.

Nov 12, 2020

Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies in the world. The aim of the present study was to examine the role of microRNA (miR)-134-3p in OC. Reverse transcription-quant...

Silencing of lncRNA DLEU1 inhibits tumorigenesis of ovarian cancer via regulating miR-429/TFAP2A axis.

Nov 12, 2020

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are known as crucial regulators in the development of OC. In the current study, we aim to explore the function and molecular mechanism of lncRNA DLEU1 in OC. Quantitativ...

Glycolytic phenotypes in an evaluation of ovarian carcinoma based on carcinogenesis and BRCA mutation.

Nov 12, 2020

Recently, a dualistic carcinogenesis model of ovarian cancer has emerged. We aimed to investigate differences in the glycolytic phenotypes of type I and type II ovarian carcinoma on the basis of FDG u...

High expression of Tie-2 predicts poor prognosis in primary high grade serous ovarian cancer.

Nov 09, 2020

Antiangiogenic therapy, although part of standard treatment in ovarian cancer, has variable efficacy. Furthermore, little is known about the prognostic biomarkers and factors influencing angiogenesis ...

Specialist oncological surgery for removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes in BRCA1 and BRCA2 pathogenic variant carriers may reduce primary peritoneal cancer risk to very low levels.

Nov 09, 2020

Risk reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (RRBSO) is highly effective for the prevention of high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) in BRCA1/2 pathogenic variant carriers (PVCs), but does not com...

Extra-abdominal ovarian cancer presenting with breast metastases at diagnosis: Case report and literature review.

Nov 09, 2020

Malignant ovarian tumours are diagnosed at an advanced stage in the majority of cases. However, only a small percentage present as extra-abdominal, non-lymph-node solid metastases, as in the breast, a...

Affinity-free enrichment and mass spectrometry analysis of the ovarian cancer biomarker CA125 (MUC16) from patient-derived ascites.

Nov 05, 2020

Developing a mass spectrometry-based assay for the ovarian cancer biomarker CA125 (MUC16) is a desirable goal, because it may enable detection of molecular regions that are not recognized by antibodie...

General Strategy for Integrated Bioorthogonal Prodrugs: Pt(II)-Triggered Depropargylation Enables Controllable Drug Activation .

Nov 05, 2020

Bioorthogonal decaging reactions for controllable drug activation within complex biological systems are highly desirable yet extremely challenging. Herein, we find a new class of Pt(II)-triggered bioo...

The impact of a cascade testing video on recipients' knowledge, cognitive message processing, and affective reactions: A formative evaluation.

Nov 05, 2020

Cascade genetic testing is essential to clarify cancer risk in families with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC) due to pathogenic variants (PVs) in BRCA1 or BRCA2. To date, data sugg...

Prevalence of germline variants in consensus moderate-to-high-risk predisposition genes to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer in BRCA1/2-negative Brazilian patients.

Nov 02, 2020

This study aimed to identify and classify genetic variants in consensus moderate-to-high-risk predisposition genes associated with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (HBOC), in BRCA1/2-nega...

Pamiparib dose escalation in Chinese patients with non-mucinous high-grade ovarian cancer or advanced triple-negative breast cancer.

Nov 02, 2020

The recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of pamiparib, an investigational PARP1/2 inhibitor, was established as 60 mg twice daily (BID) in a first-in-human (FIH) study (NCT02361723).Chinese patients with ...
