Abstract:High grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most common and aggressive type of ovarian cancer (OC). Platinum resistance is a common occurrence in HGSOC leading to tumor relapse and patient mortality. Multiple mechanisms contribute to platinum resistance in OC, including enrichment of ovarian cancer stem cells (OCSCs), which is observed in relapsed tumors. Platinum treatment activates the DNA damage response (DDR) and the DNA repair protein BRCA1 is an OC susceptibility factor. In our study, we demonstrate … Show more
