Abstract
Ovarian cancer is a highly lethal malignancy of the female reproductive system, characterized by a poor prognosis and complex therapeutic challenges influenced by various molecular and microenvironmental factors. Among these, mutations in the BRAF gene have received increasing attention across multiple malignancies due to their involvement in oncogenic signaling pathways and implications for targeted therapy. Concurrently, the tumor immune microenvironment has been recognized as a critical determinant in the initiation and progression of tumors. This review explores the impact of BRAF mutations on the immune microenvironment in ovarian cancer, summarizes recent advances in the field, and assesses the potential clinical significance of these findings in informing therapeutic strategies.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Molecular Histology publishes results of original research on the localization and expression of molecules in animal cells, tissues and organs. Coverage includes studies describing novel cellular or ultrastructural distributions of molecules which provide insight into biochemical or physiological function, development, histologic structure and disease processes.
Major research themes of particular interest include:
- Cell-Cell and Cell-Matrix Interactions;
- Connective Tissues;
- Development and Disease;
- Neuroscience.
Please note that the Journal of Molecular Histology does not consider manuscripts dealing with the application of immunological or other probes on non-standard laboratory animal models unless the results are clearly of significant and general biological importance.
The Journal of Molecular Histology publishes full-length original research papers, review articles, short communications and letters to the editors. All manuscripts are typically reviewed by two independent referees. The Journal of Molecular Histology is a continuation of The Histochemical Journal.
