Abstract excerpt
Intratumoral immune cells and ERCC1 expression are likely to play a role in the response of ovarian carcinoma to chemotherapy, but their impact on therapy outcome is still unclear. Therefore, 41 cases of optimally resected high grade serous ovarian carcinomas were examined retrospectively for stromal and intraepithelial lymphocyte populations and ERCC1 status in relation to response to platinum-based therapy....
