Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy which mainly consists of serous, mucinous, clear cell, and endometrioid subtypes. Due to the lack of classic symptoms at an early stage, EOC usually presented as advanced tumors with local and/or distant metastasis. Although a large portion of EOC was initially platinum-sensitive, most patients would acquire resistance to common chemotherapeutic agents. These aforementioned issues lead to a challenge for clinical treatments and unsatisfying outcomes. Previous studies have demonstrated the genetic features of EOC are hard to target and the alterations at DNA and RNA levels are not fully represented at the protein expression profiles which made it more complex. In recent years, a panel of studies attempted to explore the key proteins involved in the development and progression of EOC using high-throughput proteomic technologies. We herein summarized them to provide a full view of this topic.

The gut microbiota, comprising trillions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, exists in symbiosis with the host. As the largest microbial ecosystem in the human body. The gut microbiota not only shapes the homeostasis of the intestinal microenvironment through gut-derived metabolites but also exerts regulatory effects on the functions of diverse tissues and organs throughout the body via the intricate "gut-distal organ axis" mechanism.

The serine protease 23 (PRSS23) is a highly conserved member of trypsin-like serine proteases, which are associated with numerous essential processes, including digestion, blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, development, fertilization, apoptosis, and immunity. Original reports on PRSS23 unfolded not earlier than 2006 when a molecular biology study characterized and described PRSS23 as an ovarian protease. Then, in 2012, another important study was published linking PRSS23 with proliferation of breast cancer cells by an estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1)-dependent transcriptional activation of the serine protease.

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains a leading cause of gynecologic cancer mortality, with high rates of recurrence and chemoresistance. Advances in understanding the molecular biology of EOC, particularly BRCA mutations and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), have led to more targeted therapies. This review provides an updated summary of systemic treatments for EOC, with an emphasis on personalized therapy approaches and emerging therapeutic strategies.

Background: Ovarian cancer is a prevalent and highly lethal gynaecological cancer. Among its various subtypes, epithelial ovarian cancer predominates, comprising of ten distinct subtypes and contributing significantly to the overall burden of ovarian malignancies. Concurrently, endometriosis, characterised by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue within the pelvis, affects a substantial number of women of reproductive age.

Purpose: To evaluate the detection rate of sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping in early-stage ovarian cancer using [Tc]Tc-nanocolloid and indocyanine green (ICG), and the added value of an intraoperative gamma camera.
Methods: This was a prospective single-center trial of 63 patients with suspected early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer who underwent SLN mapping with combined tracers. [Tc]Tc-nanocolloid was injected into the ovarian ligaments before adnexectomy, and if malignancy was confirmed on intraoperative frozen section, ICG was administered after adnexectomy in immediate staging cases.
