Multi-omics analysis of the prognosis and therapeutic significance of circadian clock in ovarian cancer.

Apr 15, 2021

Ovarian cancer (OV) is one of the most common female malignancies with high morbidity and mortality, but its mechanism is not fully understood. The circadian clock is involved in the regulation of the...

Serum lipid profiling analysis and potential marker discovery for ovarian cancer based on liquid chromatography-Mass spectrometry.

Apr 12, 2021

Low early diagnosis rate and unclear pathogenesis are the primary reasons for the high mortality of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Lipidomics is a powerful tool for marker discovery and mechanism ex...

Impact of national guidelines on use of BRCA1/2 germline testing, risk management advice given to women with pathogenic BRCA1/2 variants and uptake of advice.

Apr 12, 2021

This nationwide study assessed the impact of nationally agreed cancer genetics guidelines on use of BRCA1/2 germline testing, risk management advice given by health professionals to women with pathoge...

DNA damage response and PD-1/PD-L1 pathway in ovarian cancer.

Apr 12, 2021

Ovarian cancer has a poor prognosis due to drug resistance, relapse and metastasis. In recent years, immunotherapy has been applied in numerous cancers clinically. However, the effect of immunotherapy...

Vitamin D receptor upregulates lncRNA TOPORS-AS1 which inhibits the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and associates with favorable prognosis of ovarian cancer.

Apr 08, 2021

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have important biological functions, but their involvement in ovarian cancer remains elusive. We analyzed high-throughput data to identify lncRNAs associated with ovaria...

Clinical Significance of Mesenteric Lymph Node Involvement in the Pattern of Liver Metastasis in Patients with Ovarian Cancer.

Apr 08, 2021

Mesenteric lymph node (MLN) involvement is often observed in ovarian cancer (OC) with rectosigmoid invasion. This study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of MLN involvement in the pattern...

The effect of platelet G proteins on platelet extravasation and tumor growth in the murine model of ovarian cancer.

Apr 08, 2021

We and other investigators have shown that platelets promote metastasis and the growth of tumors. Our rationale for conducting this study is that platelets' prometastatic and progrowth effects depend ...

The Role of PBK as a Potential Prognostic and Diagnostic Biomarker in Ovarian Cancer.

Apr 05, 2021

As one of the three malignant genital tumors, mortality in women with ovarian cancer is consistently high worldwide. It is of great importance to find prognostic markers for diagnosis and treatment o...

Distribution of Serum Thrombospondin-2, a Novel Tumor Marker , in General Population and Cancer Patients in China.

Apr 05, 2021

Distribution of serum thrombospondin-2 in general population and cancer patients in China have not been reported.This study evaluated the expression level of serum thrombospondin-2 in general populati...

FGFR3 phosphorylates EGFR to promote cisplatin-resistance in ovarian cancer.

Apr 05, 2021

Ovarian cancer is a deadly gynecologic cancer, and the majority of patients with ovarian cancer experience relapse after traditional treatment. Cisplatin (DDP) is a common chemotherapeutic drug for ov...

Expanding Lynch Syndrome Screening to Include Ovarian Cancer

Apr 02, 2021

Although the benefits of universal screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) and endometrial cancer (EC) are well known and supported by widespread consensus among major medical and specialty societies, t...

A male with primary accessory breast carcinoma in an axilla is strongly suspected of having hereditary breast cancer.

Apr 01, 2021

We herein report on a male with primary accessory breast cancer in an axilla. A 75-year-old man first noticed a subcutaneous nodule about 2 cm in diameter in the area of his right axilla. The patient...

LRRK2 inhibition potentiates PARP inhibitor cytotoxicity through inhibiting homologous recombination-mediated DNA double strand break repair.

Apr 01, 2021

PARP inhibitors induce DNA lesions, the repair of which are highly dependent on homologous recombination (HR), and preferentially kill HR- deficient cancers. However, cancer cells have developed sever...

Selective killing of homologous recombination-deficient cancer cell lines by inhibitors of the RPA:RAD52 protein-protein interaction.

Apr 01, 2021

Synthetic lethality is a successful strategy employed to develop selective chemotherapeutics against cancer cells. Inactivation of RAD52 is synthetically lethal to homologous recombination (HR) defici...

Down-regulation of long non-coding RNA antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus suppresses OVCAR-3 cells proliferation and induction of apoptosis by Wnt/β -catenin.

Mar 29, 2021

Ovarian cancer is a lethal gynecological malignancy. Long non-coding RNA antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus (lncRNA ANRIL) was reported to have a critical role in cancer advancement. The ANRIL...

Laparoscopy technique in the setting of peritoneal metastases to avoid port site relapse.

Mar 29, 2021

Laparoscopy is indicated in many patients with abdominal and pelvic malignancy. If cancer cells are present within the peritoneal space, there is a possibility for port site metastases to develop.The ...

Discovery of 6-substituted thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine analogs as dual inhibitors of glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase and 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase in de novo purine nucleotide biosynthesis in folate receptor expressing human tumors.

Mar 29, 2021

We discovered 6-substituted thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine compounds (3-9) with 3-4 bridge carbons and side-chain thiophene or furan rings for dual targeting one-carbon (C1) metabolism in folate receptor- (F...

Progesterone Receptors Promote Quiescence & Ovarian Cancer Cell Phenotypes via DREAM in p53-Mutant Fallopian Tube Models.

Mar 25, 2021
