Clinical trials of heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC ) for the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer are showing promising survival outcomes. HIPEC has the potential to eliminate ovarian cancer cells from peritoneal surfaces more effectively than systemic chemotherapy through enhanced pharmacokinetic and hyperthermia effects. However, many ...

Objective To investigate the prevalence of cancer-related depression and anxiety in western China among patients with ovarian cancer and analyze their influencing factors. Methods In this prospective cross-sectional study, qualified patients were asked to fill in questionnaires. Multivariate analysis and binary logistic regression analysis were use...

The development of cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) is one of the main causes of ovarian cancer tolerance to radiotherapy. Autophagy is an adaptive process by which cells repair damage due to radiation. As a metabolite of riboflavin, lumiflavin can enhance the chemotherapeutic effects of cisplatin on ovarian cancer CSCs. This study aimed to investigat...

The evaluation of the whole skeletal muscle area at the level of the third lumbar vertebra on computed tomography (CT) scans has often detected loss of skeletal muscle mass, defined as sarcopenia, and reduced skeletal muscle radiation attenuation (SMRA) in patients with different malignancies. Baseline sarcopenia has been detected in 33.3%-51.8% of...

Ovarian cancer is one of the most frequent carcinomas in females, and the occurrence rate is still rising despite many advances made. The pathogenesis of ovarian cancer remains greatly unclear. Here, we investigated the mechanisms of ovarian cancer, with the focus on circATRNL1. Human ovarian cancer tissues and cell lines were used to examine level...

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH) play important roles in regulating cell growth and proliferation in the ovary. However, few studies have explored the expression of FSH and LH receptors (FSHR and LHCGR) in ovarian cancer, and their functional roles in cancer progression remain inconclusive. This study investigated the...

As more insight is gained into personalized health care, the importance of personalized nutritional and behavioral approaches is even more relevant in the COVID-19 era, in addition to the need for further elucidation regarding several diseases/conditions. One of these concerning body composition (in this context; bone, lean and adipose tissue) is o...

Exposure to physiological estrogens or xenoestrogens (e.g., zearalenone or bisphenol A) increases the risk for cancer. However, little information is available on their significance in ovarian cancer. We present a comprehensive study on the effect of estradiol, zearalenone and bisphenol A on the phenotype, mRNA, intracellular and cell-free miRNA ex...
