With advances in surgical techniques and chemotherapeutic agents, mortality rates from epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) have slightly decreased over the last 30 years. However, EOC still ranks as the most deadly gynecologic cancer with an overall 5-year survival rate of 45%. Prognosis is especially disappointing for women with platinum-resistant disease, where 80% of patients will fail to respond to available therapies. Emerging treatment strategies have sub-sequently focused on targets which are integral to tumor growth and metastasis. In this review, we will focus on those innovative agents currently under investigation in clinical trials.
随着外科技术和化疗药物的进步,上皮性卵巢癌 (EOC) 的死亡率在过去 30 年中略有下降。然而,EOC 仍然是最致命的妇科癌症,总体 5 年生存率为 45%。对于铂类耐药疾病的女性,预后尤其令人失望,其中 80%的患者对现有治疗方法无反应。新出现的治疗策略随后集中在对肿瘤生长和转移至关重要的靶点上。在这篇综述中,我们将重点介绍目前正在临床试验中研究的那些创新药物。
