Abstract:Background
Ovarian cancer is a severe gynecological malignancy. Paraneoplastic Ma antigen 5 (PNMA5) is a confirmed tumor onconeural antigen, which has been screened as a female fertility factor.

In this study, we investigate the role and probable mechanism of PNMA5 in the occurrence and development of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).
