Integrated Spatial Analysis of Ovarian Precancerous Lesions.

ABSTRACT: Studying precancerous lesions is essential for improving early detection and prevention, particularly in aggressive cancers such as ovarian carcinoma. Here, we conducted integrated and spatial analyses of transcriptomes, aneuploidy, and clinic-pathological features in 166 ovarian precancerous lesions. Four pre-cancerous subtypes were identified transcriptomically: proliferative, immunoreactive, dormant, and mixed. These subtypes varied in their frequency of germline-BRCA1/2 mutations, aneuploidy, CCNE1/MYC amplification, proliferative activity, immune-regulatory gene expression, and histological features. Notably, the immunoreactive subtype upregulated immune-regulatory genes, exhibited chronic inflammation, and was enriched in cases with germline-BRCA1/2 mutati
