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...

Autophagic adaptation to oxidative stress alters peritoneal residential macrophage survival and ovarian cancer metastasis.

Aug 13, 2020

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) affect cancer progression and therapy. Ovarian carcinoma often metastasizes to the peritoneal cavity. Here, we found two peritoneal macrophage subsets in mice beari...

Aug 13, 2020

The current study aimed to investigate the potentiality of three lncRNAs "Plasmacytoma variant translocation 1(lnc-PVT1), Taurine upregulated gene type 1(lnc-TUG1) and Maternally expressed gene 3 (lnc...

Are Epithelial Ovarian Cancers of the Mesenchymal Subtype Actually Intraperitoneal Metastases to the Ovary?

Aug 10, 2020

Primary ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) has been classified into 4 molecular subtypes: Immunoreactive, Proliferative, Differentiated, and Mesenchymal (Mes), of which the Mes subtype (Mes-HG...

Neuropilins, as Relevant Oncology Target: Their Role in the Tumoral Microenvironment.

Aug 10, 2020

Expanding our understanding of ovarian cancer risk: the role of incomplete pregnancies.

Aug 10, 2020

Parity is associated with decreased risk of invasive ovarian cancer; however, the relationship between incomplete pregnancies and invasive ovarian cancer risk is unclear. This relationship was examine...

The clinical impact of intra- and extra-cellular miRNAs in ovarian cancer.

Aug 06, 2020
