Use of Novel Technologies to Identify and Investigate Molecular Markers for Ovarian Cancer Screening and Prevention

Abstract

The subject of this research is ovarian-cancer-related gene discovery. Our purpose is to identify novel genes that encode proteins that can potentially be used to detect ovarian cancer before it spreads outside the ovary and becomes incurable. The goal is to assemble a panel of known and novel ovarian tumor markers that may form the basis of a cost-effective, serologic screening test for early stage ovarian tumors.
