Here is a discussion of the importance of seeking out a clinical trial if you get an OVCA diagnosis.  If at all possible, enroll at one of the top research hospitals: Fred Hutch, Sloan Kettering, Fox Chase, MD Anderson, etc.  It would be worth a long commute.

And here is another discussion, of a new anti-OVCA drug, Rucaparib.  This bio-weapon belongs to a class of drugs called PARPi, with which you, as faithful readers of this blog  are familiar.  (If not, consult Professor Google).  Apparently Rucaparib is most effective if used before standard, platinum-based, chemotherapy.  For some unfathomable reason OVCA cells develop an effective defense against Rucaparib if first attacked by platinum!  Nasty little bastards!
