“Patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer, the most common type of gynecologic cancer in the US, face low survival rates when diagnosed at an advanced stage or at recurrence, especially once the disease progresses after prior platinum-based therapy and is not amenable to curative sur...
Background Survival rates for women diagnosed with ovarian cancer are much poorer than other gynaecological cancers and greatly depend on stage at diagnosis. A recent publication showed that unlike some other developed countries, there has been no improvement in the five‐year survival rate for those...
An experimental vaccine study currently under way at the UC Cancer Institute aims to prevent ovarian cancer recurrence by triggering the body’s natural defense system.
