Title
A Step Forward Toward Better Characterization of Ovarian Cancer.
Abstract
The article discusses a research study on the categorization of sporadic ovarian tumors by gynecologic oncologist Tanja Pejovic and colleagues. The said characterization is done through the identification of DNA repair protein expression. Results show that patients with high levels of DNA repair protein expression have an increased ovarian cancer recurrence risks. It states that adding poly adenosine diphosphate (ADP) ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor to chemotherapy will kill cancer cells.
