Tumorigenicity of Ascites-Derived Tumor Cells: Insights Into the Molecular Mechanisms of Ovarian Cancer Progression and Therapy Resistance
2020-12-02
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Ovarian cancer (OvCa) cells disseminate primarily intraperitoneally. Here, detached tumor cell aggregates (spheroids) from the primary tumor are generally regarded as “metastatic units”, which exhibit a survival benefit, probably due to the protective microenvironment and their unique molecular characteristics. Hence, current therapeutic concepts such as classical chemotherapy are not suffici...
