Background: Endometriosis affects an estimated 10% of reproductive-aged women and is associated with increased ovarian cancer risk. While BRCA1/2 mutations are established risk factors for ovarian cancer, their association with …
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a rare, aggressive epithelial ovarian cancer subtype, accounting for approximately 10% of cases and associated with a poor prognosis due to chemoresistance and unique …
Endometriosis increases ovarian cancer (OC) risk through genetic mutations, chronic inflammation, and hormonal dysregulation, yet the underlying molecular pathways remain underexplored. This study aims to identify endometriosis-associated prognostic biomarkers in …
To explore the clinicopathological features and origin of mesonephric-like adenocarcinomas (MLAs), 83 cases diagnosed or suspected to be MLAs were collected from various institutions in Japan. We clearly classified 78 …
Studies have shown that the iron concentration in the peritoneal fluid of women is associated with the severity of endometriosis. Therefore, investigation of iron metabolism-related genes (IM-RGs) in endometriosis holds …
Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition. However, endometriosis-associated malignancies occur in up to 1% of women with endometriosis. Most cases of endometriosis-associated malignancy occur in the ovary, whereas 20% of …
A well-differentiated endometrioid carcinoma at the site of extra-uterine/ovarian endometriosis complicates the differentiation between an uncommon metastatic pattern from a corpus cancer and a synchronous primary tumor originating from adjacent …
Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological benign disease. Epidemiological evidence suggests a potential association between endometriosis and cancer risk. Accumulating evidence highlighted the risk of ovarian cancer, particularly …
The molecular mechanisms through which endometriosis-related ovarian neoplasms (ERONs) develop from benign endometrioma remain unclear. It is especially a long-standing mystery why ovarian endometrioma has the potential to develop into …
Endometriosis is a widely spread disease that affects about 8% of the world's female population. This condition may be described as a spread of endometrial tissue apart from the uterine …
