Tubo-ovarian abscess in older women: is the woman's age a risk factor for failed response to conservative treatment?
The results of the current study strengthen our previous assumption that there is probably a new trend in the epidemiology of TOA, occurring in older women, who do not present the traditional risk factors for pelvic inflammatory disease and TOA.
Our results suggest that FOXG1 acts as an oncoprotein inhibiting TGF-beta-mediated anti-proliferative responses in ovarian cancer cells through suppressing p21(WAF1/CIP1) transcription.
