Core Tip |
Despite advances in clinical management, advanced-stage ovarian cancer is still rarely cured by conventional chemotherapy. Substantial efforts have been directed to developing new therapies that target ovarian cancer cells. However, recent studies have revealed important roles of a variety of stromal cells in driving the aggressive behavior of ovarian cancer. Here, we discuss: (1) the significance of three major types of stromal cells in the progression of ovarian cancer; (2) how receptor/ligand-mediated interactions between ovarian cancer cells and stromal cells serve as focal points for therapeutic intervention; and (3) key examples of new-generation agents that target stromal cells. |
