Uterine adenomyosis is a common disease in women of reproductive age that causes dysmenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, and obstetric complications. Rarely, adenomyosis can lead to abscess formation, which is refractory to an…
The cellular origin of clear cell ovarian carcinoma (CCOC), a major histological subtype of ovarian carcinoma remains elusive. Here, we explored the candidate cellular origin and identify molecular subtypes using integrated genomic/epigenom…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is assumed to be involved in ovarian cancer development, which is called endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC). Uterine endometrial cells may be the cell of origin of EAOC. Accumulated carcinogenic changes…
PURPOSE: We aimed to investigate the clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of uterine adenomyosis, in which there is an extensive area of high signal intensity in the myometrium on T2-weighted MRI. METHODS: This retr…
Uterine adenomyosis is a benign disorder that often co-occurs with endometriosis and/or leiomyoma, and impairs quality of life. The genomic features of adenomyosis are unknown. Here we apply next-generation sequencing to adenomyosis (70 ind…
