Borderline ovarian tumors primarily affect younger women and are associated with favorable prognosis, making fertility-sparing surgery a viable option. However, owing to recurrence and malignant transformation risks, careful monitoring is r…
IN BRIEF: By tissue-selective next-generation sequencing, we showed that adenomyotic epithelium harbored genomic alterations thought to be relevant to the development and progression of adenomyosis, including somatic mutations in several ca…
Endometriosis is known to be associated with an increased risk of endometrioid and clear cell ovarian cancer. However, the association between endometriosis and endometrial cancer is controversial. Therefore, we retrospectively analyzed the…
It has become evident that somatic mutations in cancer-associated genes accumulate in the normal endometrium, but spatiotemporal understanding of the evolution and expansion of mutant clones is limited. To elucidate the timing and mechanism…
