Abstract:Both clear cell ovarian carcinoma (CCOC) and endometrioid ovarian carcinoma (ENOC) are associated with ovarian endometriotic cysts, which is believed to be their precursor lesion. However, genomic evidence is lacking which could explain how these two clinically distinct histotypes of ovarian cancer arise from the same precursor lesion. We therefore hypothesized that these cancers arise from distinct cells of origin within endometrial tissue. Global proteomic analysis of ovarian cancer histotypes identified CTH… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
