A COEUR cohort study of SATB2 expression and its prognostic value in ovarian endometrioid carcinoma.
The journal of pathology. Clinical research ·doi:10.1002/cjp2.131

The aim of this study was to describe the expression of special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 2 (SATB2) in ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (EC). SATB2 is a nuclear matrix-associated transcription factor that is associated with abnormal ex…

The molecular origin and taxonomy of mucinous ovarian carcinoma.
Nature communications ·doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11862-x

Mucinous ovarian carcinoma (MOC) is a unique subtype of ovarian cancer with an uncertain etiology, including whether it genuinely arises at the ovary or is metastatic disease from other organs. In addition, the molecular drivers of invasive…

Impact of hemochromatosis gene (HFE) mutations on epithelial ovarian cancer risk and prognosis.
International journal of cancer ·doi:10.1002/ijc.25577

Cancer cells require large amounts of micronutrients, particularly iron, for their rapid growth and frequent divisions. Cellular iron uptake is regulated by the transferrin receptor and the hemochromatosis protein (HFE) system. Two frequent…
