New approaches for targeting platinum-resistant ovarian cancer

Platinum resistance in ovarian cancer, especially high-grade serous carcinoma, involves complex mechanisms including DNA repair restoration, reduced platinum accumulation, and tumor microenvironment changes. Current treatments have limited efficacy, highlighting the need for clinical trials combining chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies. Future research should focus on understanding disease biology and improving patient outcomes.
