Transcriptome Concordance Between Borderline Tumors and Endometrioid Carcinoma: An Integrative Genomic Analysis

Transcriptomic Concordance Between Borderline Ovarian Tumors and Endometrioid Carcinoma: A Research Study Background Introduction Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) are ovarian neoplasms that lie between benign and malignant tumors, typically occurring in young women. Although BOTs are clinically non-invasive, they can occasionally progress to malign...

Patient-Derived Acellular Ascites Fluid Affects Drug Responses in Ovarian Cancer Cell Lines Through the Activation of Key Signalling Pathways

Impact of Patient-Derived Acellular Ascites on Drug Responses in Ovarian Cancer Cell Lines Through Activation of Key Signaling Pathways Background Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest gynecological malignancies, with a 5-year survival rate of only 30% for patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Although surgery and chemotherapy (e...

Metabolic Imaging Distinguishes Ovarian Cancer Subtypes and Detects Their Early and Variable Responses to Treatment

Metabolic Imaging Distinguishes Ovarian Cancer Subtypes and Detects Their Early and Variable Responses to Treatment Academic Background Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in women, with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) being the most common lethal subtype. In recent years, metabolic subtypes have been ident...

SPTLC2 Drives an EGFR-FAK-HBEGF Signaling Axis to Promote Ovarian Cancer Progression

SPTLC2 Drives an EGFR-FAK-HBEGF Signaling Axis to Promote Ovarian Cancer Progression Academic Background Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most lethal cancers in the female reproductive system, with complex pathogenesis and limited treatment options. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway is widely dysregulated in various can...

Patterns of Genomic Instability in Ovarian Cancer Patients

Background and Research Question Ovarian cancer, as a fatal gynecological malignancy, has become the focus of recent studies, particularly on expanding the feasibility of targeted therapies. The introduction of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors has marked a groundbreaking treatment option for ovarian cancer, especially for patients with...

Dual-Inhibition of NAMPT and PAK4 Induces Anti-Tumor Effects in 3D-Spheroids Model of Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer

The Antitumor Effect of Dual Inhibition of NAMPT and PAK4 in a 3D Spheroid Model of Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer Platinum-resistant ovarian cancer is a malignant gynecological tumor that is difficult to treat and has a short patient survival period. In recent years, researchers have sought new treatment strategies, targeting cancer stem cells ...
