New research from Dr. Jung-Min Lee has identified a potential drug to treat ovarian cancers – NCI Center for Cancer Research

NCI Center for Cancer Research shared on LinkedIn:

“Milestones Monday: Ovarian cancer is the most lethal of all gynecological cancers.

Nearly a decade ago, the outlook for people diagnosed with ovarian cancer improved when drugs called PARP inhibitors were approved as a treatment for the disease. However, a new challenge has emerged for doctors who treat ovarian cancer: how to treat patients whose cancer has become resistant to PARP inhibitors, as most eventually do.

New research from Dr. Jung-Min Lee has identified a potential drug to treat ovarian cancers that have developed resistance to PARP inhibitors and a possible biomarker for those most likely to benefit from it.”
