Brief description Ovarian cancer generally presents at an advanced stage where 5 yr survival is less than 25%. Elevated levels of specific hormones after menopause may increase the risk of this cancer. We have shown that a protein called Pyk2 is activated in response to these hormones and may have significant roles in ovarian cancer cell migration, invasion and proliferation. This project will investigate the role of this protein, with the goal of improved therapeutics for women with ovarian cancer.
