Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Epidemiological studies have implicated ovulation as a risk factor for ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) at the initiation stage. Precancerous lesions of HGSC commonly exhibit TP53 mutations attributed to DNA deamination and are frequently localized in the fallopian tube epithelium (FTE), a site regularly exposed to ovulatory follicular fluid (FF). This study aimed to assess the mutagenic...
