Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: A benign, borderline, or malignant tumor that originates from the surface epithelium of the ovary. It is composed of epithelial cells and stroma. Representative examples of benign tumors include serous cystadenoma, mucinous cystadenoma, and benign Brenner tumor. Representative examples of borderline tumors include serous surface papillary tumor, mucinous adenofibroma, and borderline Brenner tumor. Representative examples of malignant tumors include serous adenocarcinoma, mucinous adenocarcinoma, endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and malignant Brenner tumor. [1]

Ovarian epithelial tumors most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, KRAS, PIK3CA, ARID1A, and CCNE1 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Ovarian Epithelial Tumor

TP53 Mutation, TP53 Missense, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Exon 5 Mutation, and TP53 Exon 8 Mutation are the most common alterations in ovarian epithelial tumor [2].
