Article Abstract

Recently, more than 200 live births following ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) and transplantation in cancer survivors have been reported worldwide. However, cancer survivors with minimal residual disease (MRD) in cryopreserved ovarian tissue are at the risk of relapse through the graft. Here, we report a rare case of a 19-year-old female patient with non-Hodgkin lymphoma who had MRD in the ovary harvested for OTC. The patient was diagnosed with aggressive B-cell lymphoma after gingival biopsy. The 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography scan performed before OTC showed no viable lesions in either ovary. However, on histological evaluation, we detected infiltration of lymphoma cells in the ovary. Informed consent about MRD is required even if there is no evidence of MRD in the ovary before OTC. Patients whose cryopreserved ovaries have MRD may require the development of alternative assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro growth or artificial ovary.

Ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) are pivotal for follicular homeostasis, and their dysregulated apoptosis drives age-related ovarian aging. The Hippo signaling pathway, modulated by long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), is implicated in regulating GCs proliferation and ovarian aging. TEAD2 (Transcriptional Enhanced Associate Domain 2), a key downstream transcription factor of the Hippo signaling pathway, plays a critical role in regulating cell proliferation, apoptosis, and embryonic stem cell self-renewal.

Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) remains the most lethal gynecological malignancy, largely due to its late-stage diagnosis and nonspecific early symptoms. Advances in biomarker identification and machine learning offer promising avenues for improving early detection and prognosis. This review evaluates the role of biomarker-driven ML models in enhancing the early detection, risk stratification, and treatment planning of OC.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine-metabolic disorder characterized by ovarian dysfunction, with limited effective treatments. This study investigates the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of white kidney bean extract (WKBE) in a PCOS rat model. A PCOS model was established using letrozole, followed by intervention with varying doses of WKBE.

Accurate identification of tumor-specific markers is vital for developing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-based therapies. While cell surface antigens are seldom cancer-restricted, their post-translational modifications (PTMs), particularly aberrant carbohydrate structures, offer attractive alternatives. Among these, the sialyl-Tn (STn) antigen stands out for its prevalent presence in various epithelial tumors.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a promising therapeutic approach in gynecologic cancers, particularly ovarian and cervical malignancies. Agents such as mirvetuximab soravtansine, and tisotumab vedotin, targeting folate receptor alpha and tissue factor, respectively, reported clinical efficacy in patients with limited options. However, their use is associated with ocular toxicities, including keratopathy, blurred vision, and dry eye, which may impact adherence and quality of life.
