Ovarian Cancer

Identification of a prognostic signature of epithelial ovarian cancer based on tumor immune microenvironment exploration.

Sep 07, 2020

This study aims to develop an immune-related genes (IRGs) prognostic signature to stratify the epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients. We identified 332 up- and 154 down-regulated EOC-specific IRGs....

Metformin inhibits the growth of ovarian cancer cells by promoting the Parkin-induced p53 ubiquitination.

Sep 03, 2020

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal diseases among women. The chemo-resistance has been a big challenge for the cancer treatment. It has been reported that metformin may inhibit ovarian cancer and is ab...

METTL3 regulates m6A in endometrioid epithelial ovarian cancer independently of METTl14 and WTAP.

Sep 03, 2020

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation, one of the common RNA modifications, has been determined to execute crucial functions on tumorigenesis and cancer development. The m6A "writers" including Met...

New approaches for targeting platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

Sep 03, 2020

Platinum is the backbone of systemic treatment in ovarian cancer and development of platinum resistance is associated with poor survival. Here, we perform a comprehensive review of the literature rega...

Multisite Tumor Sampling Reveals Extensive Heterogeneity of Tumor and Host Immune Response in Ovarian Cancer.

Aug 31, 2020

Ovarian cancer (OVCA) is characterized by genomic/molecular intra-patient heterogeneity (IPH). Tissue histology and morphological features are surrogates of the underlying genomic/molecular contexture...

Endothelin-1 axis fosters YAP-induced chemotherapy escape in ovarian cancer.

Aug 31, 2020

The majority of ovarian cancer (OC) patients recur with a platinum-resistant disease. OC cells activate adaptive resistance mechanisms that are only partially described. Here we show that OC cells can...

Outcomes after Fertility-Sparing Surgery for Women with Ovarian Cancer: A Systematic Review of the Literature.

Aug 31, 2020

To compare reproductive and oncologic outcomes of patients diagnosed with early stage epithelial ovarian carcinoma, borderline ovarian tumors, or non-epithelial ovarian carcinoma according to receipt ...

Evaluation of Cytoreductive Surgery With or Without Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for Stage III Epithelial Ovarian Cancer.

Aug 27, 2020

Interval cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) showed promising oncologic outcomes for patients with advanced ovarian cancer, but a large-scale, multice...

Ovarian cancer prognosis in women with endometriosis. A retrospective nationwide cohort study of 32,419 women.

Aug 27, 2020

Contradicting results regarding ovarian cancer prognosis in women with endometriosis have been reported in the literature. Due to the small sample size of previous studies, larger studies are required...

High amplification of PVT1 and MYC predict favorable prognosis in early ovarian carcinoma.

Aug 27, 2020

The objective of this study was to evaluate the status of MYC and PVT1, which are frequently amplified in malignant tumors, and to assess their biological features according to histological subtypes i...

Neoadjuvant metformin added to conventional chemotherapy synergizes anti-proliferative effects in ovarian cancer.

Aug 24, 2020

Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death among women. Complete cytoreductive surgery followed by platinum-taxene chemotherapy has been the gold standard for a long time. Various com...

FTO accelerates ovarian cancer cell growth by promoting proliferation, inhibiting apoptosis, and activating autophagy.

Aug 24, 2020

Fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) is identified as a critical demethylase involved in various physiological processes. Despite efforts have been made to study the biological functions of F...

LESSONS LEARNED FROM UNDERSTANDING CHEMOTHERAPY RESISTANCE IN EPITHELIAL TUBO-OVARIAN CARCINOMA FROM BRCA1 AND BRCA2 MUTATION CARRIERS.

Aug 24, 2020

BRCA1 and BRCA2 are multi-functional proteins and key factors for maintaining genomic stability through their roles in DNA double strand break repair by homologous recombination, rescuing stalled or d...

Association of RAD51C germline mutations with breast cancer among Bahamians.

Aug 20, 2020

RAD51C is known as an ovarian cancer gene; however, its role in breast cancer susceptibility is less clear. As part of a larger study, we assessed the role of germline RAD51C mutations in breast cance...

Performance characteristics of screening strategies to identify Lynch syndrome in women with ovarian cancer.

Aug 20, 2020

For women with ovarian cancer (OC), the optimal screening strategy to identify Lynch syndrome (LS) has not been determined. In the current study, the authors compared the performance characteristics o...

MYC-binding lncRNA EPIC1 promotes AKT-mTORC1 signaling and rapamycin resistance in breast and ovarian cancer.

Aug 20, 2020

AKT-mTORC1 (mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1) signaling pathway plays a critical role in tumorigenesis and can be targeted by rapamycin. However, the underlying mechanism of how long noncoding ...

A Critical Appraisal and Recommendations for Cost-Effectiveness Studies of Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase Inhibitors in Advanced Ovarian Cancer.

Aug 17, 2020

Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women in the US. With poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors having shown promising results in ongoing trials, there is interest in ...

Natural killer cell impairment in ovarian clear cell carcinoma.

Aug 17, 2020

In the present study, we report the analysis of NK cells derived from patients suffering from a rare ovarian cancer histotype of clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) resistant to conventional chemotherapies. W...

Comparing Treatments for Early-Stage Endometrial Cancer With Lymphovascular Space Invasion

Aug 14, 2020

Research indicates that women with early-stage endometrial cancer who have lymphovascular space invasion on their hysterectomy specimen have more aggressive tumors that are more likely to spread to th...

ELFN1-AS1 accelerates cell proliferation, invasion and migration via regulating miR-497-3p/CLDN4 axis in ovarian cancer.

Aug 13, 2020

Previous studies indicated that long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) were involved in the progression of multiple cancers including ovarian cancer (OV). LncRNA ELFN1-AS1 functioned as an oncogene in many ca...
