Research Abstract |
We demonstrated the significance of EMT and EMT inducible transcriptional factor in the metastasis of ovarian cancer. In addition, TWIST, one of the EMT inducible factors positively influenced the formation of peritoneal metastasis or the resistance to anti-neoplastic agents in this tumor. Furthermore, even in the recurrent ovarian cancer we showed the possible link between EMT and increasing local metastatic potential. Our study suggested the EMT inducible factor targeting therapy may lead to a new approach for the treatment of refractory ovarian cancer.
