Therapy Resistance On The Radar In Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer has the worst prognosis of all gynecological cancers with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) accounting for the majority of ovarian cancer deaths. Therapy resistance and the selection of effective therapies for patients remains a major challenge. In this issue of EMBO Molecular Medicine, Hoppe et al present RAD51 expression as a biomarker of platinum resistance in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) patients (Hoppe et al, 2021).
