Epithelial cells5
- The most common form of ovarian cancer begins in epithelial cells, which are the cells that line the surfaces and cavities of the body. (medlineplus.gov)
- These cancers can arise in the epithelial cells on the surface of the ovary. (medlineplus.gov)
- However, researchers suggest that many or even most ovarian cancers begin in epithelial cells on the fringes (fimbriae) at the end of one of the fallopian tubes, and the cancerous cells migrate to the ovary. (medlineplus.gov)
- Cancer can also begin in epithelial cells that form the lining of the abdomen (the peritoneum). (medlineplus.gov)
- In about 10 percent of cases, ovarian cancer develops not in epithelial cells but in germ cells, which are precursors to egg cells, or in hormone-producing ovarian cells called granulosa cells. (medlineplus.gov)

But my supervisor left for a job in the USA in my first year and the project didn't really stimulate my mind enough. (surrey.ac.uk)
Lifetime2
- Throughout the lifetime of patients with an FA gene mutation, DNA damage increasing accumulates, which would lead to a complex clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by developmental abnormalities, bone marrow failure (BMF), immune deficiency, and a high risk of developing various cancers (e.g. (frontiersin.org)
