Biomarkers for epithelial ovarian cancers.
Epithelial carcinoma of the ovary is one of the most common gynecological malignancies and the fifth most frequent cause of cancer death in women. Currently blood test of advanced epithelial tumors are reflected in a high level of CA 125 antigen. However, it is not a good marker for early stage tumors, and may yield false positives. Clearly, there is a need for better understanding of the molec...
متن کاملMolecular Profiling of Clear Cell Ovarian Cancers
Background: Advanced stage/recurrent clear cell ovarian cancers (CCOCs) are characterized by a low response to chemotherapy and a poor prognosis. There is growing interest in investigating novel/molecular targeted therapies in patients with CCOC in histotypespecific trials. However, CCOCs are not a uniform entity and comprise a number of molecular subtypes and it is unlikely that a single appro...
متن کاملModelling genetic and clinical heterogeneity in epithelial ovarian cancers.
The biology underlying early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) development is poorly understood. Identifying biomarkers associated with early-stage disease could have a significant impact on reducing mortality. Here, we describe establishment of a three-dimensional (3D) in vitro genetic model of EOC initiation and early-stage neoplastic progression. Normal primary ovarian epithelial (POE) c...
متن کاملMolecular signatures of epithelial ovarian cancer: analysis of associations with tumor characteristics and epidemiologic risk factors.
BACKGROUND Six gene expression subtypes of invasive epithelial ovarian cancer were recently defined using microarrays by Tothill and colleagues. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project subsequently replicated these subtypes and identified a signature predictive of survival in high-grade serous (HGS) cancers. We previously validated these signatures for use in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tis...
متن کاملTreatment planning of epithelial ovarian cancers using helical tomotherapy
Whole Abdomen Radiotherapy (WAR) for epithelial ovarian cancer though effective has been used sparingly due to inadequate target coverage and poor sparing of Organ At Risk (OAR) leading to significantly higher toxicities. Newer radiation techniques have shown potential for significant improvement in the therapeutic ratio. The purpose of this study was to evaluate Helical Tomotherapy(HT) for WAR...
