Malignant transformation of extraovarian endometriosis is rare, with the carcinogenesis mechanism unclear. To clarify the actionable variants of rare-site endometriosis-associated cancer (RSEAC), we performed whole-exome sequencing for the …

Here, we report an extremely rare case of trichoepithelioma (TE)-a benign epithelial tumor originating from the outer root sheath of a hair follicle-arising in an ovarian mature cystic teratoma (MCT) with fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emissio…

The aim of the present study was to clarify the role of autophagy in cisplatin (CDDP) sensitivity in OCCCs and the role of Beclin 1 in OCCC progression. Autophagy was measured using: i) western blot analysis of LC3 and p62 and ii) microscop…

Recently, the ARID1A gene has been identified as a novel tumor suppressor in ovarian clear cell carcinoma. The prognostic significance of the loss of ARID1A expression is not known. The current study was designed to evaluate whether ARID1A …

We used a combination assay of serum sialyl SSEA-1 antigen (SLX) and CA125 levels, and evaluated the clinical usefulness of this technique for a differential diagnosis of ovarian cancer, benign ovarian tumor and endometriosis. In 82 patient…

The serum levels of sialosyl-alpha 2,6GalNAc alpha 1-0-serine/threonine (S-Tn) antigen and CA 125 antigen were measured in 205 patients with gynecologic tumors, including 48 ovarian cancers, 20 endometrial cancers, 29 cervical cancers, 57 b…
