The overexpression of adenosine monophosphate-related kinase 5 (ARK5), also known as novel (nua) kinase family 1 (NUAK1) (9, 10), exemplifies a transcript whose elevated abundance has been identified in several gene expression signatures correlated with inferior survival and suboptimal residual tumor (>1 cm) after cytoreductive surgery in HGSOC (5, 6). Here, NUAK1 is linked to neoplasm.
