Understanding risk perception and risk-reducing decision-making for surgery among individuals with a genetic predisposition to epithelial ovarian cancer. (PubMed, J Genet Couns)
Perceived risk was intertwined with cancer worry, and individuals made decisions regarding RRSO based on factors such as perceived risk, control, family planning, hormonal impacts, and recovery. Importantly, healthcare providers exerted both direct and indirect influences on the decision-making process.

CC chemokines in epithelial ovarian cancer: orchestrating the metastatic microenvironment and therapy resistance. (PubMed, Mol Biol Rep)
Finally, emerging combination strategies involving chemokine blockade together with immune checkpoint inhibitors, metabolic interventions, PARP inhibitors, and ferroptosis-related approaches are evaluated. However, successful clinical translation will require precise patient stratification, effective toxicity management, and validation in clinically annotated cohorts.

Mechanical regulation of adipogenic reprogramming suppresses ovarian cancer progression. (PubMed, Commun Biol)
The critical role of mechanical signaling is demonstrated by both adipogenic conversion on soft substrates and the prevention of Ble-triggered adipogenesis following overexpression of a constitutive nuclear localization mutant of YAP. These findings establish that cytoskeletal destabilization in combination with adipogenic instructive cues enable the adipogenic reprogramming of EOC cells via heterochromatin remodeling, providing preclinical insights for ovarian cancer differentiation-targeted therapy.

BRD4-mediated histone H4K12 lactylation drives ovarian cancer progression by activating the Ube2v1-DDX3X ubiquitination axis. (PubMed, J Transl Med)
Our study uncovers a previously unrecognized function of BRD4 in regulating histone lactylation and delineates the oncogenic BRD4/H4K12la/Ube2v1/DDX3X axis in EOC. These findings not only provide a profound mechanistic insight into EOC progression but also firmly establish the therapeutic rationale for targeting BRD4, via PROTAC inhibitors, in the treatment of EOC.

Benign hemorrhagic mesenteric cyst mimicking peritoneal dissemination in early-stage ovarian clear cell carcinoma: a case report. (PubMed, BMC Womens Health)
This case highlights a potential diagnostic pitfall in which benign extraovarian lesions may mimic metastatic disease, potentially leading to overstaging. It underscores the importance of integrating imaging findings with intraoperative evaluation and histopathological confirmation to ensure accurate staging and appropriate clinical management.

Multifaceted Integrated Analysis of CDK1 and TOP2A Signaling Pathways for Multi-Target Therapeutic Intervention in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Although survival analyses did not demonstrate statistically significant independent prognostic associations, the findings support the biological relevance of CDK1 and TOP2A in EOC progression. Collectively, this study provides an integrated computational perspective on CDK1/TOP2A-associated oncogenic signaling and prioritizes Naringin as a preliminary candidate for future experimental investigation in epithelial ovarian cancer.

BNC2 in Development and Disease: Regulatory Mechanisms and Translational Implications. (PubMed, Molecules)
This review integrates current evidence on the molecular architecture and regulatory functions of BNC2, critically discusses its context-dependent roles across development and disease, and highlights unresolved questions regarding isoform-specific activity, cell-type-specific regulation, downstream target networks, and clinical translation. A clearer understanding of these mechanisms may support the future evaluation of BNC2 as a biomarker, genetic susceptibility locus, molecular stratification factor, and potential therapeutic regulatory node.
