Ovarian cancer is one of the most dangerous gynecologic malignancies showing a high fatality rate because of late diagnosis and relapse occurrence due to chemoresistance onset. Several researchers reported that oxidative stress plays a key role in ovarian cancer occurrence, growth and development. The NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is an antioxidant enzyme that, using NADH or NADPH as substrates to reduce quinones to hydroquinones, avoids the formation of the highly reactive semiquinones, then protecting cells against oxidative stress. In this review, we report evidence from the literature describing the effect of NQO1 on ovarian cancer onset and progression.

Whole exome sequencing-based homologous recombination deficiency test for epithelial ovarian cancer.
J Ovarian Res
January 2025
Department of Medical Genetics, National Taiwan University Hospital, 19F, No. 8, Chung-Shan South Road, Taipei City, Taiwan.
Background: The homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) test is an important tool for identifying patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) benefit from the treatment with poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi). Using whole exome sequencing (WES)-based platform can provide information of gene mutations and HRD score; however, the clinical value of WES-based HRD test was less validated in EOC.
Methods: We enrolled 40 patients with EOC in the training cohort and 23 in the validation cohort.
A comprehensive comparison of PARP inhibitors as maintenance therapy in platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
J Ovarian Res
January 2025
Department of Health Education, Nanjing Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, No.3, Zizhulin Road, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, 210003, China.
Background: PARP inhibitors (PARPis) have shown promising effectiveness for ovarian cancer. This network meta-analysis (PROSPERO registration number CRD42024503390) comprehensively evaluated the effectiveness and safety of PARPis in platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer (PSROC).
Methods: Articles published before January 6, 2024 were obtained from electronic databases.
Association of pre- and post-diagnosis dietary total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) with overall survival in patients with ovarian cancer: a prospective cohort study.
J Transl Med
January 2025
Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, China.
Background: The evidence on the relationship of dietary antioxidant nutrients with the survival of ovarian cancer (OC) remains scarce.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate these associations in a prospective cohort of Chinese patients with OC.
Methods: In this prospective cohort study, patients with epithelial OC completed a food frequency questionnaire at diagnosis and 12 months post-diagnosis, and were followed from 2015 to 2023.

Background: The causes of breast cancer are poorly understood. A potential risk factor is Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a lifelong infection nearly everyone acquires. EBV-transformed human mammary cells accelerate breast cancer when transplanted into immunosuppressed mice, but the virus can disappear as malignant cells reproduce.

Histopathology foundation models show great promise across many tasks, but analyses have been limited by arbitrary hyperparameters. We report the most rigorous single-task validation study to date, specifically in the context of ovarian carcinoma morphological subtyping. Attention-based multiple instance learning classifiers were compared using three ImageNet-pretrained encoders and fourteen foundation models, each trained with 1864 whole slide images and validated through hold-out testing and two external validations (the Transcanadian Study and OCEAN Challenge).
