Research Article: KRT is a Promising Prognostic Biomarker and Associates with Immune Infiltrates in Serous Ovarian Cystadenocarcinoma
Abstract:
Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies in women worldwide, and in which % are of an epithelial cell type and comprise multiple histologic types, and the remaining % are non-epithelial ovarian cancers, which include mainly germ cell tumors, sex cord-stromal tumors, as well as small cell carcinomas. High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most common epithelial subtype with a staggeringly low five-year survival rate of % to % and is responsible for % to % of ovarian cancer-related deaths., Even with bulk surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy, as BRCA/ carriers with epithelial ovarian cancer respond better than non-carriers to platinum-based chemotherapies, however, the mortality rate for late stage patients still reaches a high level. As the development of biotechnologies, such as transcriptomics, proteomics and genomics,, these new perspectives can uncover promising therapeutic choices, and contribute to explore prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for serous ovarian cystadenocarcinoma.
