Abstract:
The standard first-line chemotherapy for ovarian cancer(including fallopian tube cancer and primary peritoneal cancer)is either TC(paclitaxel day 1/carboplatin day 1)every 3 weeks±bevacizumab, or dose-dense TC(pacli taxel day 1, 8, 15/carboplatin day 1 administered weekly)every 3 weeks. PARP inhibitors olaparib and niraparib are approved as maintenance therapy following initial chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer(Stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ). Olaparib is approved for maintenance therapy after first-line chemotherapy in BRCA mutation-positive(tBRCAmt)patients, and for maintenance therapy in combination with bevacizumab after first-line chemotherapy in patients with homologous recombination deficiency(HRD)who received bevacizumab. Niraparib is approved for maintenance therapy after first-line chemotherapy. For the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer, niraparib was approved as maintenance therapy following chemotherapy in platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer, and as a treatment for platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer with HRD in patients who have received 3 or more prior lines of chemotherapy.

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...
