Early detection is imperative for improving survival from ovarian cancer, the leading cause of death from gynecological cancer in the United States. At the Health and Medicine for Women continuing medical education (CME) conference at Yale in September 2010, Dr. Gil Mor, a researcher in the Department of OB/GYN at Yale, presented recent advances on the pathophysiology of ovarian cancer. These advances, and particularly our growing understanding of cancer stem cells, may help overcome the limitations of current ovarian cancer detection and treatment methods.
早期发现对于提高卵巢癌的生存率至关重要,卵巢癌是美国妇科癌症死亡的主要原因。在 2010 年 9 月耶鲁大学妇女健康与医学继续教育(CME)会议上,耶鲁大学妇产科系研究员吉尔·莫尔博士介绍了卵巢癌病理生理学的最新进展。这些进展,特别是我们对癌症干细胞认识的不断加深,可能有助于克服当前卵巢癌检测和治疗方法的局限性。
