Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the leading killer among all gynecological malignancies (Siegel et al., 2012). Over 70% of EOC patients present with late stage diseases and dissemination of tumor implants throughout the peritoneal cavity (Bast et al., 2009). Ascites is one of the most common and distressing complications associated with EOC, especially for advanced stage diseases (Auersperg ...

The Wnt signaling pathway is evolutionary conserved and controls many biological processes like cell proliferation and differentiation. It also provides planar polarity, regulation of the cell cycle, and cell adhesion during both the embryonic and adult period. However, it has been widely considered in the literature that some pathological alterations in various biomolecules involved in this pa...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been demonstrated to play critical roles in many physiological and pathophysiological processes. The presence of altered miRNA profiles in human body fluids has been reported for a number of diseases including gynecological malignancies. In this review, we summarized the current progresses of circulating miRNAs associated with malignancies in gynecology, with an emphasiz...

Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) play an important role in many cancers including gynecological cancers. We previously reported the usefulness of a quantitative highly sensitive detection method for hTERT mRNA in the serum of cancer patients. By this method, we attempted to elucidate the diagnostic evaluation of serum hTERT mRNA for gyne...
