The
Inhibitors,research,lifescience,medical epithelial ovarian carcinoma is one of the most fatal gynecological cancers across the globe. In spite of early recovery by surgical and chemotherapy treatments, the 5-year survival rate for the patients is only 13 percent. The database GLOBCAN related to the World Health Organization (WHO) has reported incidence of about 192000 cases in the world, in the year of 2000. 6000 cases of the mentioned cases have occurred in the UK, and 21000 cases nearly in the U.S. For treating the disease, the tumor will be removed by surgical procedures and then chemotherapy would be started with platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin and carboplatin), which treating regime includes cisplatin and carboplatin with the drugs such as paclitaxel, docetaxel, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin. In some of the patients, the disease relapses after 6 months of chemotherapy; this condition is defined as platinum resistant, in which treatment would be continued with drugs such as topotecan and etoposide [1].
