Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer (OC) remains the most lethal gynaecological malignancy, largely due to late-stage diagnosis, tumour heterogeneity, and high recurrence rates.

Yet, the prognostic relevance of its genetic variants in OC is not well established. The present study aims to evaluate...
