  • Publication number: 20240060981
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a biological marker of ovarian cancer, including early stage ovarian cancer. Specifically, the present invention provides methods for detecting ovarian cancer in a subject which include detecting an expression level of the biological marker junction plakoglobin in blood of the subject. An expression level of junction plakoglobin that is higher than a reference expression level for junction plakoglobin indicates that the subject has ovarian cancer. Methods of identifying a subject having ovarian cancer and methods of determining if a subject is susceptible to developing ovarian cancer are also provided based on detecting the expression level of junction plakoglobin in blood of the subject. The present invention also extends to methods of treatment of ovarian cancer together with methods of screening a candidate therapeutic agent for use in treating ovarian cancer.
