The impact of lipid metabolism on breast cancer: a review about its role in tumorigenesis and immune escape.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the second most frequent type of cancer in the world and most common among women, configuring a major challenge to global health. BC is a complex and heterogeneous disease that can be subdivided into distinct tumor types based on the expression of molecular markers predicting patient outcomes and response to therapy. A growing number of studies have tried to expand the known markers by investigating the association of altered lipid metabolism with BC immune escape, progression, and metastasis.

Overexpression of CLDN16 in ovarian cancer is modulated by PI3K and PKC pathways.

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the gynecological malignant tumor of poorest prognosis and higher mortality rate. Chemotherapy is the base of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) treatment; however, it favors the emergence of chemoresistance and metastasis. Thus, there is an urge to search for new therapeutic targets, such as proteins related to cellular proliferation and invasion.
