Intraoperative ovarian cancer treatment based on the combinatorial effect of a targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT) associated with suppression of the DJ-1 protein, one of the key players in the ROS defense of cancer cells. Ovarian cancer tumors exposed to a single dose of combinatorial therapy were completely eradicated from the mice and the treated animals showed no evidence of cancer recurrence.
A combination of techniques by Oregon State University researchers achieved complete cancer cell elimination with no regrowth of tumors. It may offer a novel mechanism to address this aggressive and often fatal cancer that kills 14,000 women in the US each year. Ovarian cancer has a high mortality rate because it often has metastasized into the abdominal cavity before it’s discovered...
