Ovarian cancer (OV) is a gynaecological malignancy that poses a serious risk to the health status of women. To date, effective molecular markers are unavailable for the diagnosis and management of ovarian malignancies. In this study, we aimed to investigate the molecular markers associated with the development of this cancer. We used bioinformatic analysis to determine the molecules and genes related to ovarian cancer using the gene expression profiling interactive analysis (GEPIA) and the cancer genome Atlas (TCGA) databases. In addition, we examined the genes and mechanisms underlying ovarian cancer. Our results showed that the KLHL14 gene is overexpressed in some cancers. An increase in the KLHL14 expression indicates a poor prognosis in patients with ovarian cancer. Results of immune cell infiltration analysis and half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) analysis provide novel insights into the treatment of ovarian cancer. KLHL14 is anticipated to emerge as a novel molecular marker specifically for ovarian carcinoma.

Uterine tumor resembling ovarian sex cord tumor (UTROSCT) is a rare, typically benign uterine tumor occurring over a wide age range (mean 52.4 yr). UTROSCTs often harbor translocations between ESR1 and nuclear receptor coactivators NCOA1-NCOA3.

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is an endometriosis-related neoplasm, in which traditional histologic grading does not show prognostic significance. Tumor budding was associated with poorer outcomes in OCCC in previous studies. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of tumor budding in OCCC in an independent cohort.

Although breast, cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancers account for more than 43% of new cases in 2023 in Brazilian women, no national studies were found on the incidence, risk factors, and prevention of breast and gynecological neoplasms in lesbian women, causing the health needs of non-heterosexual women to go unnoticed by professionals. This study aims to identify and analyze the search for healthcare related to the prevention of breast/gynecological cancer among Brazilian lesbian cisgender women who have not had the disease. Seven lesbian women participated in this qualitative study.

Synthetic lethality approaches in BRCA1/2-mutated cancers have focused on poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, which are subject to high rates of innate or acquired resistance in patients. Here, we used CRISPR/Cas9-based screening to identify DNA Ligase I (LIG1) as a novel target for synthetic lethality in BRCA1-mutated cancers. Publicly available data supported LIG1 hyperdependence of BRCA1-mutant cells across a variety of breast and ovarian cancer cell lines.

Objective: To compare the effects of different treatment modes containing PARPis and traditional treatment modes on the survival of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer.
Methods: From December 2012 to December 2023, 131 recurrent ovarian cancer patients were screened. The patients were followed up retrospectively, and the relevant data was collected and analyzed.
