TP53 is a molecular switch that controls cancer cell fate decisions during ovarian cancer treatment
EF 2015-16
Résumé
Advanced ovarian cancer (OCa) is particularly lethal with a 5 years survival rate below 30%. Treatment modalities include surgical tumor debulking followed by combined chemotherapies. These treatments control the disease for extended periods, but do not cure it, and are accompanied by severe side effects. We will try to understand the molecular biology behind the different responses to the chemotherapy. Ultimately, with this project we will able to identify new novel biomarkers that will help patient to choose the best treatment option
