Ovarian Cancer: Antiangiogenesis Biological Research
Ovarian cancer research is currently focused on biological drugs or agents which make chemotherapy work better or independently have an anti-cancer effect. There are not chemotherapy drugs but rather attack cancers in other ways and are often less toxic. One such agent is called bevacizumab which attacks blood vessel formation.
