Targeting Inflammatory Pathways in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer,irst-line therapy, attempts at improving survival rates in this setting by combining standard treatment with other cytotoxic agents have only had limited success. In platinum-resistant/refractory disease, single agents have modest activity with an average response rate of 20%. As it appears that a t

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition and Cellular Membrane Receptors in Ovarian Cancer: Moving Forwalignant disease have had varying levels of success in the treatment of patients with ovarian cancer. This chapter will discuss in depth the following cell membrane receptors and proteins: integrins, the EGFR/HER family of receptors, IGF receptors, c-Met, and will mention cadherins and the transform

The immune system protects us from developing cancer but once ovarian cancer is established, it employs elaborate pathways to circumvent the immune system.

The optimal management of epithelial ovarian cancer involves a multidisciplinary approach incorporating surgical staging, cytoreduction, and platinum-based chemotherapy in appropriate patients. There has been little overall change in the incidence and m
