This systematic review evaluates the current state and future prospects of causal inference methodologies in enhancing ovarian cancer diagnosis and prognosis. We performed a comprehensive systematic review focusing on causal inference methodologies applied to ovarian cancer research. The analysis encompassed biomarker identification, pathogenic mechanism elucidation, and multimodal data integration.

Causal inference methods have shown effectiveness in identifying crucial biomarkers and revealing underlying pathogenic mechanisms of ovarian cancer. The integration of machine learning with causal inference has enhanced model interpretability, clinical applicability, and diagnostic-prognostic accuracy. These approaches have achieved improved predictions of disease progression and optimization of treatment strategies by leveraging clinical, genetic, and imaging data.

These effects were compared under different oxygen concentrations.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>TH-302 induced DNA damage and reduced cell number in ES cells by over 60%, preferentially under hypoxic conditions, independent of the cellular p53 status. TH-302 caused cell death in up to 40% of cells and mitochondrial depolarization in up to 60% of cells. Additionally, TH-302-induced caspase-3/7 activation and increased sub-G1 cell populations predominantly under hypoxia, with the most pronounced effects occurring at 0.2% environmental oxygen compared to 1% O<sub>2</sub>.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>These in vitro findings suggest that TH-302 may be efficacious in ES. This provides a rationale for further in vivo investigations into the potential of TH-302 as a treatment for ES.</p>","PeriodicalId":50685,"journal":{"name":"Clinical & Translational Oncology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144295267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
