Clusters of epithelial cells of the fallopian tube exhibiting aberrant p53 expression, termed "p53 signatures," are detected at a relatively high frequency and have been regarded as putative precursors of high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC).…
The fallopian tube has emerged as a central organ in the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer, particularly high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC). Detailed histopathological and molecular analyses have revealed a diverse spectrum of tubal epithelial…
Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) levels and the Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA) have recently been shown to improve the sensitivity and specificity of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) diagnosis. We evaluated HE4 levels and ROMA a…
Uterine leiomyoma, a benign tumor, may be treated with drugs, albeit surgical resection is more common. The present study aimed to evaluate the treatment of leiomyoma cases by uterine artery embolization (UAE) using a gelatin sponge prepare…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a complex disease associated with a wide range of immune responses, including pain, adhesion, exudation of peritoneal fluid, elevation of cytokine levels and generation of autoantibodies. Interleukin (IL)-18 is …
In a woman with infertility and an endometrial polyp, we analyzed the nucleotide sequence of the beta-subunit of her luteinizing hormone which showed anomalous immunogenecity in that it was recognized by time resolved-fluoroimmunoassay but …
