Abstract
Purpose: Ovarian carcinomas are believed to arise de novo from surface epithelium, but the actual molecular pathogenesis is unknown. The aim of this study was to compare the promoter hypermethylation profiles of ovarian epithelial neoplasms to better understand the role of epigenetic silencing in carcinogenesis.Keywords
