Possible future treatment for mucinous ovarian cancer

[BJ_UK]

Came across this interesting abstract: clincancerres.aacrjournals....

Sounds promising, but it's very early days, I fear.

Hi, thanks for the link, had a huge mucinous tumour removed last year [ 2 stone ] & de bulking surgery. Looks very interesting but early days, luckily I've no recurrence & hope it continues but it does offer hope for the future.

Thanks Sue.

Glad there's something in the pipeline at least. I know how frustrating it is for you that this rarer form is so much less understood due to the low numbers, Barbara. Cannot believe in some ways that until a few years ago they treated all OC the same and are now up to 9+ subtypes? That understanding can only be good.

Love

Here's a link to a bit about the SMART project, based in Canada, which has proposed guidelines for the use of Herceptin and similar drugs in the treatment of mucinous ovarian cancer: smartcancerproject.com/pati...

I believe this is the research we heard a little bit about at the Ovacome Members' Day.
