Int J Mol Sci. 2023 Nov 5;24(21):15987. doi: 10.3390/ijms242115987.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to highlight the new advancements in molecular and diagnostic genetic testing and to properly classify all ovarian cancers. In this article, we address statistics, histopathological classification, molecular pathways implicated in ovarian cancer, genetic screening panels, details about the genes, and also candidate genes. We hope to bring new information to the medical field so as to better prevent and diagnose ovarian cancer.

Keywords: diagnosis; genetics; molecular; ovarian; panel; pathways; screening.
