carcinoma of the ovary (CCC) with a group with serous adenocarcinoma of the ovary (SAC) …

To evaluate whether mutations in the human multidrug resistance (MDR)-1 gene correlate
with placental P-glycoprotein (PGP) expression, we sequenced the MDR-1 cDNA and …

The aim of the present study was to assess the contribution of polymorphisms in the breast
cancer resistance protein/ATP-binding cassette transporter G2 (BCRP/ABCG2) gene to the …

BACKGROUND.: The present study was conducted to determine the frequency and

Clear cell carcinoma (CCC) accounts for 4% to 12% of epithelial ovarian cancer in Western
countries and, for some unknown reasons, it comprises more than 20% of such cancers in …

The aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic
resonance (MR) imaging in detecting peritoneal dissemination in cases of gynecological …

Our purpose is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)
measurement in differentiating malignant from benign uterine endometrial cavity lesions. We …
