Clinicopathologic significance and race-specific prognostic association of MYB overexpression in ovarian cancer

Abstract Late diagnosis, unreliable prognostic assessment, and poorly-guided therapeutic planning result in dismal survival of ovarian cancer (OC) patients. Therefore, identifying novel functional biomarker(s) is highly desired for improved clinical management. MYB is an oncogenic transcription fact...
