Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that primary human omental adipocytes promote homing, migration and invasion of ovarian cancer cells, and that adipokines including interleukin-8 (IL-8) mediate these activities, and adipocytes provide fatty acids for rapid tumor growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This trial assessed rucaparib versus placebo after response to second-line or later platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with high-grade, recurrent, platinum-sensitive ovarian carcinoma harbouring a BRCA mutation or high percentage of genome-wide loss of heterozygosity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This 'roadmap' for HGSOC was determined after extensive discussions at an Ovarian Cancer Action meeting in January 2015 and aims to reduce incidence and improve outcomes for women with this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adipose tissue and adipocytes support tumorigenesis and metastasis.
TL;DR: Given that adipocytes are a major source of adipokines and energy for the cancer cell, understanding the mechanisms of metabolic symbiosis between cancer cells and adipocytes, should reveal new therapeutic possibilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
CD95 promotes tumour growth
Lina Chen,Lina Chen,Sun Mi Park,Alexei V. Tumanov,Annika Hau,Annika Hau,Kenjiro Sawada,Kenjiro Sawada,Christine Feig,Christine Feig,Jerrold R. Turner,Yang Xin Fu,Iris L. Romero,Ernst Lengyel,Marcus E. Peter,Marcus E. Peter +15 more
TL;DR: It is shown that cancer cells in general, regardless of their CD95 apoptosis sensitivity, depend on constitutive activity of CD95, stimulated by cancer-produced CD95L, for optimal growth.
