L1 Technology Package for Diagnosis & Therapy of Ovarian and Endometrial Cancer including
Ovarian and highly aggressive endometrial carcinomas are the most common causes of cancer related deaths among gynaecological cancer diseases. Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death among women in developed countries. This high deathstatistic reflects the nature of ovarian cancer with its extensive metastatic spreading, leading to an advanced stage and poor prognosis for the patient due to therapy resistance. The ability of primary tumor cells to spread and form metastasis is strongly associated with the ability of cells to migrate and become adherent.
