Cancer Studies Provide Researchers with New Information on Ovarian Cancer Development, Growth
Two studies recently conducted by Cedars-Sinai Cancer scientists have discovered new information that may improve the understanding of why some patients don’t respond to treatment and what drives ovarian cancer development. Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most common ovarian cancer type, developing in the epithelial tissue. It is estimated that roughly 85% of ovarian tumors are epithelial. The first study affords researchers a better understanding into how ovarian tumors develop resistance to treatment. Resistance usually develops in nearly 80% of high-grade serous tumors of patients with ovarian cancer. The co-first author for this study, Michelle Jones, stated that whole genome…
