Blood bioactive sphingolipids in patients with advanced serous epithelial ovarian cancer - mass spectrometry analysis.

Conclusions: Plasma concentrations of C16, C18.1 and C18 correlated with the progression of ovarian cancer (FIGO staging and grading). Plasma levels of C16-Cer and C18:1-Cer and erythrocyte C18:1-Cer levels could be used to distinguish patients with advanced serous ovarian cancer. PMID: 33488856 [PubMed]
