Abstract

Currently the primary treatment of ovarian cancer (OC) is surgery with chemotherapy. Chem-otherapy is effective but platinum-based drugs commonly employed for OC, function with a specific mode of action, and are prone to adverse side effects and drug resistance, limiting the efficacy of the therapy....
