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.

Common genetic variation of the IGF2 gene and epithelial ovarian cancer risk in Chinese population. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
These findings provide preliminary evidence that IGF2 gene polymorphisms may be associated with the risk and clinicopathological characteristics of serous EOC in Chinese women.

Evaluating homologous recombination status and the efficacy/safety of PARP inhibitors in advanced epithelial ovarianl cancer: A single-institute preliminary experience. (PubMed, Taiwan J Obstet Gynecol)
The HRd rate in this Taiwanese cohort aligns with existing literature. PARPi significantly improved survival in HRd patients, but adverse events necessitate careful hematological monitoring for treatment sustainability.

Consensus Statement from the Society of Gynecologic Oncology of Canada on Folate Receptor α Testing in Ovarian Cancer. (PubMed, Curr Oncol)
These recommendations aim to promote integrated, equitable, standardized FRα testing across Canada and support timely identification of patients eligible for FRα-directed therapy, clinical trial enrollment, and future biomarker-driven treatment strategies.

The influence of CD117, CD133, CD24, CD44, and ALDH expression on progression-free survival in advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer patients. (PubMed, Cancer Treat Res Commun)
Regardless of the limited independent prognostic value of individual CSC markers, their combined expression enhanced risk stratification for recurrence and survival in advanced EOC. Multimarker CSC profiling may enhance prognostication and aid in guiding personalized surveillance and therapeutic strategies.

SLC45A4 expression in cancer-associated fibroblasts is associated with epithelial ovarian cancer progression and HIF-1α-glycolysis signaling activation. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Moreover, the reduction of SLC45A4 expression in CAFs through gene knockdown technology markedly inhibited tumor growth in mice, offering a novel strategy for TME-based EOC treatment. This study not only provides new insights into the mechanisms of CAFs action in EOC progression but also identifies a potential molecular target for the development of TME-based therapeutic strategies for EOC.

Reconstruction of septin higher-order nano-size structures in ovarian cancer cells uncover susceptibility to the septin-targeting small molecule UR214-9. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
By integrating structural, cellular, and energetic readouts using in-silico techniques, we establish a quantitative framework for septin-targeted modulation, generating UR214-9 as a new chemotype that disrupts septin oligomeric assembly via preventing incorporation of SEPT2/7/9, into canonical hetero-octamers, causes defects in cytokinesis, altered cell migration, viability, and remodels septin-actin architectures, ultimately impairing tumor cell growth. Thus, pharmacological targeting of septin assembly represents a tractable strategy to perturb septin-dependent cellular processes in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases with reported septin dysregulation.

Prognostic analysis of epithelial ovarian cancer patients with normal CA125 level: a population-based comparative study. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
We found that the OEC patients with normal CA125 levels tend to have a better prognosis than those with elevated CA125 levels. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that age, summary stage, histology, and lymphadenectomy status were important factors affecting the prognosis of EOC patients with normal CA125 level.

Liquid biopsy-based diagnostic evaluation of hypermethylated CpG sites for ovarian cancer diagnosis. (PubMed, Mol Oncol)
Furthermore, while ARMS-PCR panels displayed limited clinicopathological correlations, MethyLight showed significant correlations (P < 0.05). Overall, this pilot study highlights the promise of liquid biopsy-based diagnostics using independent hypermethylated and hypomethylated CpG biomarkers for ovarian cancer detection.

The results of the H-L test showed good fitness. The nomogram model developed in this study exhibits good predictive performance and applicability, and can be used to screen for the risk of recurrence in this population.
