Circulating soluble Fas levels and risk of ovarian cancer
Abstract
BackgroundDysregulation of apoptosis, specifically overexpression of soluble Fas (sFas), has been proposed to play a role in the development of ovarian cancer. The main objective of the present study was to evaluate serum sFas as a potential biomarker of ovarian cancer risk.MethodsThe association between serum sFas levels and the risk of ovarian cancer was examined in a case-control study nested within three prospective cohorts in New York …
