Abstract excerpt
High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is characterized by a TP53 mutation rate of up to 96.7% and associated with a more aggressive tumor biology. The origin of HGSOC is thought to arise either from fallopian tube secretory cells or the ovarian surface epithelium/inclusion cysts, the former with more evidence. Peritoneal tumor spread is heterogeneous, either excessive in the peritoneum (with miliary...
