متن کاملEpithelial ovarian cancer.
Ovarian neoplasms consist of several histopathologic entities, and treatment depends on the specific tumor type.

The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for Ovarian Cancer discuss epithelial ovarian ...
متن کاملEpithelial Ovarian Cancer Cells
Elucidation of the mechanisms responsible for aberrant phosphatidylcholine (PC) metabolism in cancer cells may allow identification of novel biomarkers of tumor progression and design of new targeted anticancer therapies. We recently reported up-regulation of PC-specific phospholipases in epithelial ovarian cancer cells (EOC) compared with nontumoral (normal or immortalized) counterparts (EONT)...
