Abstract

High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma presents significant clinical and therapeutic challenges. Although the traditional model of carcinogenesis has focused on the ovary as a tumor initiation site, recent studies suggest that there may be additional sites of origin outside the ovary, namely the secretory cells of the fallopian tube. Our study demonstrates that high-grade serous tumors can originate in fallopian tubal secretory epithelial cells and also establishes serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma as the precursor lesion to high-grade serous ovarian and peritoneal carcinomas in animal models targeting the Brca, Tp53, and Pten genes. These findings offer an avenue to address clinically important questions that are critical for cancer prevention and early detection in women carrying BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Conditional knockout mice, using the Cre-lox system for cell type specificity, have been used to reproduce oncogenic mutations and homologous recombination defects to study ovarian cancer development and responses to clinically relevant treatments such as platinum-based drugs and PARP inhibitors.

    “Conditional knockout mice, using the Cre-lox system for cell type specificity, have been used to reproduce oncogenic mutations and HR defects to study ovarian cancer development and responses to clinically relevant treatments such as platin-based drugs and PARPis (Szabova et al., 2012; Perets et al., 2013; Szabova et al., 2014; Zhai et al., 2017).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
