Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ovarian cancer is a significant and often life-threatening disease that primarily affects the ovaries, which are the female reproductive organs responsible for producing eggs and hormones. It is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women.
Several distinct histotypes of epithelial ovarian carcinoma have been recognized, with the high-grade serous form being the most predominant. A better understanding of the biology and the molecular mechanisms underlying the aggressive advancement of this disease are imperative for pinpointing and establishing efficacious treatments which can elevate survival rates among ovarian cancer patients.
The focus of this Special Issue is to foster discourse on studies that delve into the innovative molecular mechanisms, pathways, and therapeutic approaches aimed at addressing ovarian cancer. We welcome contributions from researchers possessing pertinent experience in ovarian cancer research, whether in the form of original research papers or comprehensive review articles.
Dr. Alessandro Antonio Buda
Guest Editor
