Personalized medicine and immunotherapy for ovarian cancer
Author(s): Stanbery Hannah*
The general prognosis for women with advanced ovarian cancer is still dismal,
despite advancements in surgery and chemotherapy. Although platinum-based
chemotherapy has an initial response rate of roughly 60–80%, the majority
of patients will have a recurrence and pass away from the disease. However, a
precision medicine approach focused on DNA repair has lately given rise to
genuine optimism about increasing survival. Many individuals with BRCA germlinedeficient
and/or platinum-sensitive epithelial ovarian malignancies have seen lifechanging
effects as a result of the clinical development of PARP inhibitors. Patients'
prognosis could also be improved by intraperitoneal chemotherapeutic methods
and antiangiogenic medications. Additionally, developing immunotherapeutic
possibilities could benefit patient results.
