Characterizing the Impact of Specific Genetic Mutations on Chemotherapy Resistance and the Efficacy of Oncolytic Viruses for the Treatment of Ovarian Cancer
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer and urgently requires new therapies. Oncolytic viruses (OV) are a strong contender. OVs interact with immune components of the TME, which can be altered due to specific genetic mutations. The present study evaluates the impact of …
