Emerging applications of tumour-educated platelets in the detection and prognostication of ovarian cancer

Platelets are nuclear cell fragments produced by megakaryo-cytes.Inactive platelets circulate in the blood until activation by external stimuli to execute important biological functions,including hemostasis,inflammation,tissue remodelling,and blood vessel formation.Platelets can reflect cancer cells'patho-genesis through a process known as tumour-educated platelets(TEPs).
