متن کاملIncreased Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha Expression as an Inflammatory Response Indicator and a Cancer Risk in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Background: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a pro-inflammatory condition that supports the development of metabolic aberration and ovarian dysfunction. Chronic inflammation and the increased levels of androgens in this group of patients and their impact on the immune system may increase the risk of developing malignancies, including ovarian cancer. Thus, we interacted ovarian tumor cells ...
