The MUC1 epithelial mucin is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is frequently but variably over-expressed by adenocarcinomas. It is used as a diagnostic serum tumour marker and is a candidate target for tumour immunotherapy. Peritoneal fluid (PF) samples from ovarian cancer patients were investigated

The autocrine hypothesis of neoplastic transformation originally stated that transformed cells escaped normal growth restraints by the production of and autostimulation by endogenous growth factors. This hypothesis followed the demonstration by DeLarco and Todaro [l] that murine sarcoma virus-transf
## Abstract The proβinflammatory cytokine, tumour necrosis factorβΞ±, TNFβΞ±, is dysregulated in malignant compared with normal ovarian surface epithelium (OSE). Several epidemiological studies have associated inflammation with ovarian tumorigenesis, with TNFβΞ± playing a key role in modulating invasi
To assess the clinical potential of serial serum CAI 25 measurements in the follow-up of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, 74 consecutive unselected patients with histologically confirmed ovarian carcinoma were studied prospectively. There was an 83Oh concordance between clinical assessment a
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a pleiotropic growth factor implicated in the growth and spread of some epithelial tumours. The epithelial cells of a proportion of ovarian tumours, and some ovarian carcinoma cell lines, express high levels of the HGF receptor, c-Met. In this study, we show that ov
## Abstract Metaphase comparative genomic hybridisation (CGH) studies indicate that chromosomes 4, 5, 6, 13, 14, 15 and 18 are frequently deleted in primary ovarian cancers (OCs). Therefore we used microcellβmediated chromosome transfer (MMCT) to establish the functional effects of transferring nor
