Abstract:
Ovarian cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women, with platinum resistance posing a significant challenge. Conventional therapies often fail in these cases, highlighting the urgent need for novel treatment approaches. Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising strategy, offering renewed hope for patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC). This review explores the current landscape of immunotherapies for PROC, discussing different approaches, their mechanisms of action, and the potential for overcoming the limitations of conventional treatments.

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...
