AIM: The aim of the present study was to summarize the clinical characteristics and analyze the independent prognostic factors in patients with high-grade endometrial neuroendocrine carcinoma (ENC). METHODS: Patients diagnosed with ENC, en…
Background: The homologous recombination (HR) pathway defects in cancers induced abrogation of cell cycle checkpoints, resulting in the accumulation of DNA damage, mitotic catastrophe, and cell death. Cancers with BRCA1/2 loss and other acc…
Cancer antigen 125 (CA125), encoded by the mucin 16 cell surface associated (MUC16) gene, has been widely used as a biomarker for ovarian cancer (OC) screening. However, it has yet to be elucidated as to why its levels increase with tumor p…
Leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) plays a vital role in the development of malignant tumors; however, its biological role and underlying mechanism in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remain unclear. In this s…
Mutations in the gene encoding AT-rich interactive domain 1A (ARID1A) are frequently observed in endometrial cancer (EC) but the molecular mechanisms linking the genetic changes remain to be fully understood. The present study aimed to eluc…
The lack of efficient tumor progression and chemoresistance indicators leads to high mortality in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients. Dysregulated miR-520g expression is involved in these processes in hepatic and colorectal cancers. I…
