Diverse molecular pathways in ovarian cancer and their clinical significance.

Abstract excerpt

The origin of epithelial ovarian cancer remains unknown. It is believed to develop from ovarian surface epithelium, post-ovulatory inclusion cysts, endometriosis and more recently the fimbrial end of the fallopian tube. Molecular evidence suggests that ovarian cancer may progress both through a step-wise mutation process (low-grade pathway, type I), and a separate pathway with high genetic instability leading to...
