摘要
According to the epidemiologic literature and the laboratory characterization of receptor content and molecular interactions, there is a relationship between the microenvironment of ovarian cancer and steroid hormones. Advances in our knowledge of the molecular-hormonal nature of ovarian cancer will help in designing a rationale for clinical trials in appropriate subsets of patients. However, currently, development of successful therapies and prevention strategies for women at risk remains a true challenge.
