Exosomes promote pre-metastatic niche formation in ovarian cancer. [PDF]
Ovarian cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies. Upon initial diagnosis, the majority of patients present with widespread metastatic growth within the peritoneal cavity. This metastatic growth occurs in stages, with the formation of a

Immunotherapy for Ovarian Cancer: Adjuvant, Combination, and Neoadjuvant
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy. Surgery and chemotherapy are the primary treatments for ovarian cancer; however, patients often succumb to recurrence with chemotherapeutic resistance within several years after the initial ...

Multi-gene panel testing for hereditary cancer predisposition in unsolved high-risk breast and ovarian cancer patients. [PDF]
PurposeMany women with an elevated risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer have previously tested negative for pathogenic mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2. Among them, a subset has hereditary susceptibility to cancer and requires further testing.

The Role of Tumor-Associated Macrophages in the Progression and Chemoresistance of Ovarian Cancer
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) constitute the main population of immune cells present in the ovarian tumor microenvironment. These cells are characterized by high plasticity and can be easily polarized by colony-stimulating factor-1, which is ...

Control of triple-negative breast cancer using ex vivo self-enriched, costimulated NKG2D CAR T cells
Background Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive disease that currently lacks effective targeted therapy. NKG2D ligands (NKG2DLs) are expressed on various tumor types and immunosuppressive cells within tumor microenvironments, providing ...

Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) in benign and malignant diseases [PDF]
Background: Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) is described as a useful new biomarker in ovarian cancer. As HE4 is neither tumor nor organ specific, we intensively investigated the occurrence of this protein in female and male patients with various benign ...
