Study identifies a new cancer cell state related to poor treatment response in ovarian cancer patients

The prognosis for ovarian cancer patients is grim: less than half of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) patients survive past five years from diagnosis. Initially, the tumors typically respond well to chemotherapy but become resistant after repeated treatments, enabling the cancer to regrow.
