Cell-level analysis reveals how ovarian tumors may develop resistance to chemotherapy
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
High-grade serous ovarian cancer is an aggressive form of ovarian cancer, characterized in particular by high diversity among the cells that compose a given tumor. This intratumor heterogeneity is a major challenge in understanding why some tumors respond to treatments and others resist. Additionally, this diversity is not limited to genetic differences: tumor cells that have similar genetic profiles may have different functions, depending on the genes they express and their epigenetic state.
