High-accuracy next-generation DNA sequencing promises a paradigm shift in early cancer detection by enabling the identification of mutant cancer molecules in minimally invasive body fluid samples. We demonstrate 80% sensitivity for ovarian …
17β-estradiol (E2) can contribute to the progression of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Although the majority of patients with EOC are postmenopausal woman, when de novo estrogen production in the ovary has ceased, ovarian cancer cells rem…
