Metachronous serous endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma and serous peritoneal carcinoma: analysis of probable independent lesions
Diagnostic pathology ·doi:10.1186/s13000-016-0585-0

BACKGROUND: Uterine serous endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma (SEIC) is an immediate precursor of invasive carcinoma. The majority of stage IA SEICs are curable, but those with latent peritoneal metastasis and/or capillary lymphatics inv…

Impaired CXCL4 expression in tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) of ovarian cancers arising in endometriosis
Cancer biology & therapy ·doi:10.4161/cbt.20084

Inflammatory cells play important roles in progression of solid neoplasms including ovarian cancers. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) contribute to angiogenesis and immune suppression by modulating microenvironment. Ovarian cancer develo…

Differential expression patterns of CXCR3 variants and corresponding CXC chemokines in clear cell ovarian cancers and endometriosis
Gynecologic Oncology ·doi:10.1016/j.ygyno.2011.05.034

OBJECTIVES: Carcinogenesis of the ovary is often associated with endometriosis. We previously demonstrated that antitumor chemokine receptor CXCR3 was upregulated both in endometriosis and ovarian cancers. Currently, little is known about t…
