Research grant awarded to study the mechanisms by which chemotherapy activates tumor enzymes promoting ovarian cancer metastasis, aiming to improve therapeutic strategies and patient survival.
Description
This project aims to understand how chemotherapy used in first-line treatments inadvertently activates tumor enzymes that promote metastasis, with the goal of identifying more effective therapeutic strategies to neutralize chemotherapy-driven metastatic disease and improve patient survival.
