BACKGROUND: With recent evidence that opportunistic salpingectomy is effective in preventing high grade serous carcinoma, it is imperative to consider the optimal use of this procedure. In this research, we investigated the opinions of obst…

The low incidence of ovarian cancer (OC) dictates that any screening strategy needs to be both highly sensitive and highly specific. This study explored the utility of detecting multiple colocalized proteins or glycosylation epitopes on sin…

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a heterogeneous group of malignancies, including high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC). HGSC is often diagnosed at advanced stages and is linked to TP53 variants. While BRCA variants elevate risk, most H…

Individuals with proven hereditary cancer syndrome (HCS) such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 have elevated rates of ovarian, breast, and other cancers. If these high-risk people can be identified before a cancer is diagnosed, risk-reducing intervention…

PURPOSE: To identify molecular subclasses of clear cell ovarian carcinoma (CCOC) and assess their impact on clinical presentation and outcomes. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We profiled 421 primary CCOCs that passed quality control using a targeted…

As a follow-up to genome-wide association analysis of common variants associated with ovarian carcinoma (cancer), our study considers seven well-known ovarian cancer risk factors and their interactions with 28 genome-wide significant common…

Abstract Endometrioid ovarian cancer (ENOC) and clear cell ovarian cancer (CCOC) share a common precursor lesion, endometriosis (ectopic growth of uterine lining), hence the designation endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC). Women …

Abstract Both clear cell ovarian carcinoma (CCOC) and endometrioid ovarian carcinoma (ENOC) are associated with ovarian endometriotic cysts, which is believed to be the precursor lesion of these cancers. Women with endometriotic cysts have …

The Ovarian Task Force of the Gynecologic Cancer Steering Committee convened a clinical trials planning meeting on October 28-29, 2011, with the goals to identify key tumor types, associated molecular pathways, and biomarkers for targeted d…

HNF1B is overexpressed in clear cell epithelial ovarian cancer, and we observed epigenetic silencing in serous epithelial ovarian cancer, leading us to hypothesize that variation in this gene differentially associates with epithelial ovaria…

BACKGROUND: Inactivating somatic mutations in the ARID1A gene are described in a significant fraction of clear cell and endometrioid ovarian cancers leading to loss of the corresponding protein (BAF250a). Expression of BAF250a was examined …

Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most common cause of mortality from gynecologic malignancy, and most of epithelial cancers are of serous type. The site of origin of pelvic high-grade serous carcinoma has been the subject of debate for 60 y…
