Chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer remains suboptimal. Despite the improvements in objective response rates realized with cisplatin-based combination chemotherapeutic regimens, most patients still die of refractory cancer. Drug resistance has emerged as the single most important determinant of

The development of acquired resistance has limited the effectiveness of chemotherapy in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Experimental model systems were developed to study the mechanisms associated with primary resistance to chemotherapeutic agents and broad cross-resistance (multidrug resistance) w
## Abstract The development of chemotherapy resistance by cancer cells is complex, using different mechanisms and pathways. The gene __FAU__ (Finkel‐Biskis‐Reilly murine sarcoma virus (__F__BR‐MuSV)‐__a__ssociated __u__biquitously expressed gene) was identified through functional expression cloning
## Abstract The Class III β‐tubulin isotype (βIII‐tubulin) is a predictive biomarker in ovarian cancer and other solid tumor malignancies. We discovered that βIII‐tubulin function is linked to two GTPases: guanylate‐binding protein 1 (GBP1), which activates its function, and GNAI1, which inhibits i
## Abstract The aim of this study is to discover a gene set that can predict resistance to platinum‐based chemotherapy in ovarian cancer. The study was performed on 96 primary ovarian adenocarcinoma specimens from 2 hospitals all treated with platinum‐based chemotherapy. In our search for genes, 24
## Abstract The novel camptothecin derivative BNP1350 (7‐[2‐trimethylsilyl)ethyl]‐20(__S__)‐camptothecin), also known as Karenitecin, has been developed for superior oral bioavailability and increased lactone stability. In our study, we describe the antiproliferative effects of BNP1350, SN‐38 and t
