Ovulation is known to damage fallopian tube epithelial (FTE) cells, promote cellular transformation, and contribute to the development of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC). While ovulatory follicular fluid-derived extracellular ves…
Background/Objectives: The detection of ovarian cancer remains challenging due to the lack of reliable serum biomarkers that reflect malignant transformation rather than mere tumor presence. We developed a novel biotest using an immortalize…
INTRODUCTION: High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC), the most lethal subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), often originates from serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) and is typically diagnosed at advanced stages. However, t…
OBJECTIVES: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue. Despite its significant impact on fertility and quality of life, the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains p…
BACKGROUND: Incessant ovulation is the main etiologic factor of ovarian high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSC), which mostly originate from the fallopian tube epithelium (FTE). Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands essential for follicle deve…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study analyzed the trends of opportunistic salpingectomy (OS) accompanied by hysterectomy in a 9-year follow-up period at a single institute. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included 1184 women at H…
OBJECTIVES: To study the surgical morbidity associated with laparoscopic management of tubal ectopic pregnancy compared with that of open laparotomy. METHODS: A retrospective study in an academic tertiary obstetrics and gynecology referral…
