Proteomic signature for detection of high‐grade ovarian cancer in germline BRCA mutation carriers
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "International Journal of Cancer"
DOI: 10.1002/ijc.34318
Abstract: No current screening methods for high‐grade ovarian cancer (HGOC) guarantee effective early detection for high‐risk women such as germline BRCA mutation carriers. Therefore, the standard‐of‐care remains risk‐reducing salpingo‐oophorectomy (RRSO) around age 40. Proximal liquid biopsy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41391-017-0018-5
Abstract: BackgroundProstate cancer (PC) is one of the known heritable cancers with individual variations attributed to genetic factors. BRCA1 and BRCA2 are tumour suppressor genes with crucial roles in repairing DNA and thereby maintaining genomic integrity.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-46707-6
Abstract: Accurate estimation of carrier probabilities of cancer susceptibility gene mutations is an important part of pre-test genetic counselling. Many predictive models are available but their applicability in the Asian population is uncertain. We evaluated the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/pgp.0000000000000663
Abstract: It is believed that high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is a solid or multilocular-solid cancer. Here, we report the case of a 40-yr-old woman with a left ovarian unilocular cyst. Ultrasonography and computed tomographic examination… read more here.
