Abstract excerpt
Standard of care for Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC) patients relies on platinum-based therapy. However, acquired resistance to platinum occurs frequently and predicts poor prognosis. To understand the mechanisms underlying acquired platinum-resistance, we have generated and characterized three platinum-resistant isogenic EOC cell lines. Resistant cells showed 3-to 5- folds increase in platinum IC50....
