Functional characterization of epithelial ovarian cancer histotypes by drug target based protein signaling activation mapping: Implications for personalized cancer therapy

Abstract excerpt

Epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) is a deadly disease, with a 5-year survival of 30%. The aim of the study was to perform broad-scale protein signaling activation mapping to evaluate if EOC can be redefined based on activated protein signaling network architecture rather than histology. Tumor cells were isolated using laser capture microdissection (LCM) from 72 EOCs. Tumors were classified as serous (n = 38),...
