Brief description Ovarian cancer is a complex disease with generally poor long-term survival. Response to initial treatment is generally high however most women relapse, usually within 2 years. Response to chemotherapy is variable and difficult to predict. This project will focus on why ovarian cancer recurs, especially after a good initial response; on understanding what features determine response to chemotherapy once patients have relapsed; and on strategies to increase response to chemotherapy.
