Ovarian cancer is an aggressive malignancy and the leading cause of death among gynecologic cancers. Researchers have evaluated prophylactic medications that potentially avert the manifestation of ovarian cancer, but currently, there are no reliable screening measures for this disease. Nevertheless, the largest study involving aspirin use and ovarian cancer reported a substantive risk reduction from enduring aspirin use. Since there are countervailing data to impugn the potential benefits of aspirin use in staving off ovarian cancer, further research should scrutinize the use of this medication as a prophylactic intervention, especially in women who are at higher risk for developing the disease.

Poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, such as olaparib, talazoparib, rucaparib, and niraparib, comprise a therapeutic class that targets PARP proteins involved in DNA repair. Cancer cells with homologous recombination repair defects, particularly BRCA alterations, display enhanced sensitivity to these agents because of synthetic lethality induced by PARP inhibitors. These agents have significantly improved survival outcomes across various malignancies, initially gaining regulatory approval in ovarian cancer and subsequently in breast, pancreatic, and prostate cancers in different indications.

Background: Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest gynecologic cancers, with chemotherapy resistance as the greatest clinical challenge. Autophagy occurrence is associated with cisplatin (DDP)-resistant ovarian cancer cells. Herein, the role and mechanism of alpha-synuclein (SNCA), the autophagy-related gene, in DDP resistance of ovarian cancer cells are explored.

Background: Ovarian tumors are the most prevalent neoplasms worldwide, affecting women of all ages. According to Globocan's 2022 projections, by 2050, the number of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer worldwide will increase by over 55% to 503,448. The number of women dying from ovarian cancer is projected to increase to 350,956 each year, an increase of almost 70% from 2022.

Background: Thyroid cancer primarily affects young women and raises concerns about future fertility due to treatments of thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy. This study investigated the effects of these treatments on pregnancy probability in young female patients post-diagnosis.
Methods: A nationwide, population-based study using data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database (2000-2017) examined pregnancy likelihood in women ≤45 years with thyroid cancer.
