Polyguanine tracts (PolyGs) are short guanine homopolymer repeats that are prone to accumulating mutations when cells divide. This feature makes them especially suitable for cell lineage tracing, whic...

Positive ascites cytology is a strong prognostic factor in patients with early-stage ovarian cancer (OvCa). However, limited information is currently available on the impact of positive ascites cytolo...

Ovarian high grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) is a lethal form of ovarian cancer (OVCA). In most cases it is detected at late stages as the symptoms are non-specific during early stages. Emerging informa...

Defects in translation lead to changes in the expression of proteins that can serve as drivers of cancer formation. Here, we show that cytosolic NAD synthesis plays an essential role in ovarian cancer...

The role of methylation in the regulation of genes of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) is still poorly understood. We revealed new hypermethylated lncRNA genes in ovarian tumors and their effect on metasta...

The impact of maintenance therapy with PARP inhibitors (PARPi) on progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with BRCA mutations and platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer (PSROC) varies widely....

ARID1A mutation is frequently found in clear cell ovarian cancer (CCC) and endometrioid ovarian cancer (EC). Anti-PD-1 monotherapy has been found to have limited efficacy in epithelial ovarian cancer;...

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G is a non-classical major histocompatibility complex class Ib molecule. Its expression has been described in various cancer types, including ovarian cancer. HLA-G molecu...

The loss of DYNLL1 contributes to chemoresistance in ovarian cancer. DYNLL1 binds to MRE11, a component of MRN complex (MRE11-RAD50-NBS1), and limits its function in homologous recombination (HR) repa...

Bartogenic acid (BA), a natural pentacyclic triterpenoid, proved to have chemomodulatory, anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-arthritic, and anti-inflammatory activity. Based on structure-activity relation...

The genetics of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is complex with patients reported to harbor germline pathogenic variants (PVs) in many different genes. PDAC patients with familial pancreatic c...

Several microRNAs (miRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) were reported to be involved in the Docetaxel (DTX) chemoresistance of cancer treatment, but the underlying mechanisms remain to be explored. In...

Previous studies have provided limited evidence for the effect of tomato intake on bladder cancer incidence. This study aimed to evaluate the association between dietary tomato or lycopene consumption...

Extracellular matrix protein-1 (ECM1) promotes tumorigenesis in multiple organs but the mechanisms associated to ECM1 isoform subtypes have yet to be clarified. We report in this study that the secret...

Despite optimal patient selection and surgical effort, recurrence is seen in over 70% of patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) for peritoneal metastases (PM). Apart from the Peritoneal Cance...

Since margin-negative resection is essential for the cure of pancreatic cancer (PC), early detection of PC is important. Although PC is the third most common cancer associated with BRCA1/2 mutations, ...

In most patients with ovarian carcinoma, the diagnosis is reached when the disease is long past the initial stages, presenting already an advanced stage, and they usually have a very bad prognosis. Cy...
