Abstract:
Although platinum chemotherapy remains the standard treatment for ovarian cancer, recent advances in novel targeted drugs have generated anticipation and excitement. In addition, alternate administration schedules of already established cytotoxics have shown promise in both front line and recurrent disease settings. In this review, we outline the seminal trials that influenced our current management as well as introduce recent trials that have provided intriguing results to aid the understanding of ovarian tumour biology.

Clinical Trials: Overview
Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
