Formation of tumors is associated with accumulation of different genetic and epigenetic changes. The current review summarizes the recent data on molecular markers of human ovarian cancer, as well as provides analysis of the contribution of epigenetic markers for early cancer diagnostics. Specificities of functioning of signaling pathways are considered in the context of searching for possible oncomarkers. The importance of complex evaluation of molecular changes for correct diagnostics and prognosis of ovarian cancer is demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
