The potential role of infectious agents and pelvic inflammatory disease in ovarian carcinogenesis.
Infectious agents and cancer ·doi:10.1186/s13027-017-0134-9

BackgroundThe etiological cause of ovarian cancer is poorly understood. It has been theorized that bacterial or viral infection as well as pelvic inflammatory disease could play a role in ovarian carcinogenesis.AimTo review the literature o…

Assessment of variation in immunosuppressive pathway genes reveals TGFBR2 to be associated with risk of clear cell ovarian cancer.
Oncotarget ·doi:10.18632/oncotarget.10215

BackgroundRegulatory T (Treg) cells, a subset of CD4+ T lymphocytes, are mediators of immunosuppression in cancer, and, thus, variants in genes encoding Treg cell immune molecules could be associated with ovarian cancer.MethodsIn a populati…

High-risk HPV is not associated with epithelial ovarian cancer in a Caucasian population.
Infectious agents and cancer ·doi:10.1186/s13027-016-0087-4

BackgroundHigh-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) has been suspected to play a role in the carcinogenesis of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). However, results from previous studies are conflicting. In most of these studies, the number of tissu…

Identification of six new susceptibility loci for invasive epithelial ovarian cancer.
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/ng.3185

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 12 epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) susceptibility alleles. The pattern of association at these loci is consistent in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers who are at high risk of EOC. After…
