Abstract:

Cancer is a pathology generating problem to the public health systems all over the world. The etiology and pathogenesis of ovarian cancer are still partially unknown. It is still a challenge when it comes to the origin, the molecular basis of ovarian carcinogenesis, tumor progression, and therapy options of ovarian cancer. This paper brings an overview of ovarian cancer, starting with the pathogenesis, histopathological forms, and molecular biology of ovarian cancer, and follows the growth factors as molecular targets for specific therapy.
