Small Extracellular Vesicle and Total Lipid Profiles Provide a Diagnostic Advantage Over CA-125 Across Ovarian Cancer Subtypes
Journal of extracellular vesicles ·doi:10.1002/jev2.70348

Ovarian cancer remains the most lethal gynaecological malignancy, largely due to late-stage diagnosis and the limited sensitivity of CA-125 for borderline and low-grade tumours. Dysregulated lipid metabolism may provide complementary diagno…

Fine-mapping of the HNF1B multicancer locus identifies candidate variants that mediate endometrial cancer risk
Human molecular genetics ·doi:10.1093/hmg/ddu552

Common variants in the hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 homeobox B (HNF1B) gene are associated with the risk of Type II diabetes and multiple cancers. Evidence to date indicates that cancer risk may be mediated via genetic or epigenetic effects …
