Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has increasingly been identified as a key regulator in pathologies such as cancer. Multiple platforms were used for comprehensive analysis of ovarian cancer to identify molecular subgroups. However, lncRNA and its role in mapping the ovarian cancer subpopulation are still largely unknown. RNA-sequencing and clinical characteristics of ovarian cancer were acquired from The Cancer Genome Atlas database (TCGA). A total of 52 lncRNAs were identified as aberrant immune lncRNAs specific to ovarian cancer. We redefined two different molecular subtypes, C1(188) and C2(184 samples), in "iClusterPlus" R package, among which C2 grouped ovarian cancer samples have higher survival probability and longer median survival time ( <0.05) with activated IFN-gamma response, Wound Healing and Cytotoxic lymphocytes signal; 456 differentially expressed genes were acquired in C1 and C2 subtypes using limma (3.40.6) package, among which 419 were up-regulated and 37 were down-regulated, in TCGA dataset. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional enrichment analysis revealed that these genes were actively involved in ECM-receptor interaction, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway interaction KEGG pathway. Compared with the existing immune subtype, the Cluster2 sample showed a substantial increase in the proportion of the existing C2 immune subtype, accounting for 81.37%, which was associated with good prognosis. Our C1 subtype contains only 56.49% of the existing immune C1 and C4, which also explains the poor prognosis of C1. Furthermore, 52 immune-related lncRNAs were used to divide the TCGA-endometrial cancer and cervical cancer samples into two categories, and C2 had a good prognosis. The differentially expressed genes were highly correlated with immune-cell-related pathways. Based on lncRNA, two molecular subtypes of ovarian cancer were identified and had significant prognostic differences and immunological characteristics.

Background: LIGHT (oLaparib In HRD-Grouped Tumor types; NCT02983799) prospectively evaluated olaparib treatment in patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer (PSROC) assigned to cohorts by known BRCA mutation (BRCAm) and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) status: germline BRCAm (gBRCAm), somatic BRCAm (sBRCAm), HRD-positive non-BRCAm, and HRD-negative. At the primary analysis, olaparib treatment demonstrated activity across all cohorts, with greatest efficacy in terms of objective response rate and progression-free survival observed in the g/sBRCAm cohorts. The authors report final overall survival (OS).

The surgical management of cancer patients wishing fertility preservation is multidisciplinary, involving surgeon, anesthetist, hematologist, and nursing and laboratory staff. Many oncology patients have a multitude of medical or surgical conditions that require careful planning of all therapy including surgical removal of reproductive material, either oocytes or ovarian tissue. The significant risks related to either transvaginal or abdominal surgery should be discussed and documented and the final decision to proceed must be balanced against the risks, including death.

Ovarian cancer (OC) ranks as the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, posing a significant threat to female health. Late-stage diagnoses, driven by elusive symptoms often masquerading as gastrointestinal issues, contribute to a concerning 70% of cases being identified in advanced stages. While early-stage OC brags a 90% cure rate, progression involving pelvic organs or extending beyond the peritoneal cavity drastically diminishes it.

Background: Morphine, a mu-opioid receptor (MOR) agonist commonly utilized in clinical settings alongside chemotherapy to manage chronic pain in cancer patients, has exhibited contradictory effects on cancer, displaying specificity toward certain cancer types and doses.
Objective: The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic assessment and comparison of the impacts of morphine on three distinct cancer models in a preclinical setting.
Methods: Viability and apoptosis assays were conducted on a panel of cancer cell lines following treatment with morphine, chemotherapy drugs alone, or their combination.
Cell type-specific upregulation of NKG2D ligand MICA in response to APTO253.

One of the most important targets for natural killer (NK) cell-mediated therapy is the induction of natural killer group 2D ligand (NKG2D-L) expression. APTO253 is a small molecule that selectively kills acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells, and it has been reported that APTO253 can induce Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) expression and downregulate c-MYC expression. Recently, we discovered a novel role of APTO253 in modulating the NK cell response by inducing surface expression of NKG2D-Ls, especially MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence A (MICA), in AML cells.
