Researchers have developed a biologic drug that would prevent the production of a protein known to allow ovarian cancer cells to grow aggressively while being resistant to chemotherapy. This would improve treatment and survival rates for some women. "This is a tremendous discovery and could mean the difference between life or death for some women with ovarian cancer. This research is ground-breaking in the area of ovarian cancer." says one chief of obstetrics and gynecology.
