Abstract Ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) originates in the fallopian tube, with secretory cells carrying a TP53 mutation, known as ‘p53 signatures’, identified potential precursors. p53 signatures evolve into tubal intraepithelial carcinomas (STIC) lesions, which, turn, progress invasive HGSC that readily spread to ovary and disseminate around peritoneal cavity. We recently investigated genomic landscape of early- late-stage found higher ploidy (median 3.1) than early-stage 2.0)...
Abstract Purpose High grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) is the commonest type of ovarian cancer. Nearly all HGSC cases are diagnosed at late stage and it not clear whether early has unique characteristics compared to tumours. Experimental Design We analysed samples from 45 patients with FIGO I - IIA 40 pathology archives three large UK cancer centres 5 BriTROC-1 study. performed shallow whole genome sequencing (sWGS) targeted next generation investigate somatic mutations copy number alterations....
