Abstract

This review provides an overview of latest insights in epithelial ovarian cancer biology. The current understanding of the origin and the complex heterogeneity are depicted, followed by an introduction to the latest therapeutic approaches. The role of the tumor microenvironment, the high potential to disseminate within the peritoneal cavity, and new molecular biological findings are summarized.
