Integrative gene ontology-driven analysis of the eutopic endometrium reveals key dysregulated functionomes and pathways in endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder associated with pelvic pain, infertility, and an increased risk of endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer. Despite extensive research, its molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This …

Empowering women's health with miRNA-integrated nanochemical approaches: from reproductive health to cancer care.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a category of small (18-25 nucleotides) non-coding transcripts that modulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, are necessary for regulatory processes in female reproduction, specifically in ovarian function …

Circulating Tumor DNA in Ovarian Cancer: Emerging Roles in Early Detection, Risk Stratification, and Disease Monitoring.

Early diagnosis of ovarian cancer remains one of the most important unmet needs in gynecologic oncology because survival is strongly stage-dependent and most patients still present with disseminated disease. Conventional …

Inflammasomes meet organoids and artificial intelligence: unraveling the complexity of gynecological inflammation.

Gynecological diseases represent a persistent global health burden. According to a WHO report, the global incidence of gynecological diseases exceeds 65%. Furthermore, over 90% of women suffer from gynecological issues …

Characteristics and outcomes of patients with endometriosis and malignant or borderline ovarian tumors: real-world evidence from an ESGO centre of excellence.

From Endometriosis to Endometriosis-Associated Ovarian Cancer: Molecular Mechanisms, Risk Stratification and Clinical Implications.

Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Increasing epidemiological and molecular evidence indicates that it may represent a precursor condition for a subset …

CHCHD2: a bi-organellar fulcrum of mitochondrial homeostasis and reproductive pathology.

Mitochondrial dysfunction has been demonstrated with a role in pathologically driving various obstetric and gynecological (OB/GYN) diseases, but molecular mediators associating mitochondrial dysfunction with discrete pathologies have not been determined …

Epigenetic Compound Library Screen Identifies Ibrutinib as an Inhibitor of Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma Viability.

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is an endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer subtype. Somatic mutations in OCCC are reported in ARID1A, PIK3CA, and the TERT promoter (TERTp), as well as less commonly …

Impact of endometriosis on survival outcomes in ovarian cancer patients: a pilot study.

The aim of our study is to investigate the percentage of ovarian cancer (OC) patients with concomitant endometriosis and its distribution across histological subtypes, and to assess whether the presence …

Genetics of Endometriosis-Associated Ovarian Cancer: A Systematic Review.

Up to 1.6% of patients with endometriosis develop epithelial ovarian carcinoma. The genetic overlap between endometriosis and ovarian cancer has not been fully characterized. This review aims to describe the …
