Prospects for the detection of ovarian cancer by genetic testing of aspirate from the uterine cavity

In the article, a genetic study of biological samples from uterine cavity aspirate was performed in patients with serous ovarian carcinoma in order to identify gene mutations characteristic of ovarian tumor lesions. It has been proven that the aspiration from the uterine cavity contains diagnostically significant numbers of cells or fragments of ovarian cancer cells necessary for molecular genetic analysis and detection of mutations in the TP53, FAT3, CSMD3, BRAF, and KRAS genes. Mutations of the BRCA1/2 genes are rare. The detection of TP53, FAT3, CSMD3, BRAF, and KRAS gene mutations in uterine aspirate cells requires an active diagnostic search for the detection of ovarian serous carcinoma.
