Characterization of TP53 mutations in Pap test DNA of women with and without serous ovarian carcinoma

Gynecologic Oncology ·doi:10.1016/j.ygyno.2019.11.124

OBJECTIVE: Pap tests hold promise as a molecular diagnostic for serous ovarian cancer, but previous studies reported limited sensitivity. Furthermore, the presence of somatic mutations in normal tissue is increasingly recognized as a challe…

Cancer-Associated Mutations but No Cancer: Insights into the Early Steps of Carcinogenesis and Implications for Early Cancer Detection

Trends in cancer ·doi:10.1016/j.trecan.2019.07.007

Cancer is a disease of aging fueled by the accumulation of somatic mutations. While mutations in tumors are well characterized, little is known about the early mutational processes that initiate tumorigenesis. Recent advances in next-genera…
