BACKGROUND: Earlier detection is strongly associated with increased survival for women with ovarian cancer. Unfortunately, current screening strategies, employing serial serum or ultrasound assessments, lack adequate sensitivity and specifi…

Claudin 4 is a cellular adhesion molecule that is frequently overexpressed in ovarian cancer and other epithelial cancers. In this study, we sought to determine whether the expression of claudin 4 is associated with outcome in ovarian cance…

Early detection of ovarian cancer is difficult owing to the lack of specific and sensitive tests available. Previously, we found expression of nectin 4 to be increased in ovarian cancer compared with normal ovaries. Reverse transcriptase-po…
