PC activity in uterine lavages from post-menopausal controls, ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer patients. (A) No significant differences were detected in ovarian cancer subtypes [serous-papillary (n = 21), serous peritoneal (n = 9), other serous subtypes (n = 8), other types of ovarian cancer (n = 7)] compared to controls (n = 8), benign (n = 21) or borderline cancers (n =4). (B) Comparison of all ovarian cancer subtypes as one group (n = 45) with controls (n = 8), benign tumors (n = 21), or borderline cancers (n = 4). (C) Total PC activity was significantly higher in endometrial cancer (n = 11) compared to controls (n = 8), **p<0.005.
