OBJECTIVE: Endometrioid ovarian carcinomas (EOCs) comprise 5-10% of all ovarian cancers and commonly co-occur with synchronous endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC). We sought to examine the molecular characteristics of pure EOCs in patient…
Abstract Endometrioid ovarian cancer (ENOC) and clear cell ovarian cancer (CCOC) share a common precursor lesion, endometriosis (ectopic growth of uterine lining), hence the designation endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC). Women …
Abstract PURPOSE: Women with endometriosis, a painful condition caused by displaced endometrial tissue, have a 3-fold increased risk of developing endometrioid ovarian cancer (ENOC) and clear cell ovarian cancer (CCOC). How two distinct can…
We studied the whole-genome point mutation and structural variation patterns of 133 tumors (59 high-grade serous (HGSC), 35 clear cell (CCOC), 29 endometrioid (ENOC), and 10 adult granulosa cell (GCT)) as a substrate for class discovery in …
OBJECTIVE: Endometrioid (ENOC) and clear cell ovarian carcinoma (CCOC) share a common precursor lesion, endometriosis, hence the designation endometriosis associated ovarian cancers (EAOC). Long interspersed nuclear element 1 (LINE-1 or L1)…
Abstract Introduction: Clear Cell ovarian carcinomas (CCC) represent 10% of ovarian carcinomas, with outcomes for high-stage significantly worse than high-grade serous form. The complete mutational landscape, the molecular basis of the tran…
Endometriosis is a significant risk factor for clear cell and endometrioid ovarian cancers and is often found contiguous with these cancers. Using whole-genome shotgun sequencing of seven clear cell ovarian carcinomas (CCC) and targeted seq…
Abstract Clear Cell ovarian carcinomas (CCC) represent ∼10% of ovarian carcinomas, with outcomes for high-stage cases significantly worse than the more common high-grade serous form. Response to standard chemotherapies are poor and efforts …
High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) is characterized by poor outcome, often attributed to the emergence of treatment-resistant subclones. We sought to measure the degree of genomic diversity within primary, untreated HGSCs to examine th…
