High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer

Dear Colleagues,

Among ovarian cancers, high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most frequent histology with the poorest prognosis. In most cases, HGSOC is at an advanced stage 3–4 at the time of diagnosis, and the treatment policy requires not only surgery but also pharmacotherapy. Approximately 70% of HGSOCs respond to platinum combination pharmacotherapy, but once they have responded, many relapse and become drug-resistant and fatal. In recent years, omics analysis such as transcriptome analysis and whole-genome analysis of HGSOC has been performed, and research on the relationship with susceptibility to drug therapy has been progressing. This Special Issue calls for research on drug sensitivity or resistance, individualized treatment, and omics analysis of HGSOC.
