In this new study involving a mouse model of ovarian cancer, researchers evaluated the effects of entinostat on adaptive immune responses.

A screening study that began more than 30 years ago looked at ultrasound screening for at-risk women for ovarian cancer and its effects on disease-specific survival.

A pooled analysis of two randomized trials found that neoadjuvant chemotherapy and upfront debulking surgery yield similar outcomes in patients with advanced tubo-ovarian cancer, except in some settings.

Dr. Dmitriy Zamarin speaks with Cancer Network about the findings of a phase II trial in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients.

New research examines the mechanisms underlying why most patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer develop resistance to PARP inhibitors.
