摘要
Epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC)is the most lethal gynaecological malignancy,and despite advancements in therapeutics,most women unfortunately still succumb to their disease.Immunotherapies,in particular immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICI),have been therapeutically transformative in many tumour types,including gynaecological malignancies such as cervical and endometrial cancer.Unfortunately,these therapeutic successes have not been mirrored in ovarian cancer clinical studies.This review provides an overview of the ovarian tumour microenvironment(TME),particularly factors associated with survival,and explores current research into immunotherapeutic strategies in EOC,with an exploratory focus on novel therapeutics in navigating drug resistance.
