Surviving Ovarian Cancer: An Affair between Defective DNA Repair and RB1

Abstract

Detailed clinical and molecular evaluation of large cohorts of exceptional survivors provides an unprecedented opportunity to identify mechanisms underlying long-term survival that can drive future therapeutic approaches and biomarker development. Exceptional survivors of high-grade serous ovarian cancer demonstrate concurrent disruption of homologous recombination DNA repair and retinoblastoma protein.
