Another Weapon to Fight Ovarian Cancer
About 2,000 Minnesota women are diagnosed and treated each year for ovarian cancer. For most of these women, the cancer will recur.
Standard chemotherapy treatments can put recurrent ovarian cancer in remission, often more than once. However, when the cancer resists the standard treatments, we need new options to help these women. One of the new options being explored is the old drug thalidomide.
Levi Downs, Jr., M.D., assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Minnesota Medical School and a member of the Cancer Center, talks about the promising results of his research.
