ObjectiveWhole-exome-sequencing (WES) studies reported c-MYC gene-amplification and HUWE1 gene deletion/mutations in a significant number of cervical-cancer-patients (CC) suggesting HUWE1/c-MYC pathway as potential therapeutic target. We in…

We evaluated the expression of tissue factor (TF) in ovarian cancer (EOC) and the potential of hI-con1, an antibody-like molecule targeting TF, as a novel form of therapy against chemotherapy-resistant ovarian disease. We studied the expres…

BackgroundUterine serous papillary adenocarcinoma (USPC) is a highly aggressive variant of endometrial cancer. Human immuno-conjugate molecule (hI-con1) is an antibody-like molecule targeted against tissue factor (TF), composed of two human…
