#Ovarian #cancer often goes undetected for a long time. In seven out of 10 patients, the tumor has already formed secondary #tumors in the #abdominal cavity at the time of diagnosis. These metastases are particularly common in a tissue called the #omentum , also known as the peritoneal apron.

When ovarian cancer alters the abdominal cavity

Ovarian cancer often forms secondary tumors, especially in a certain tissue in the abdominal cavity known as the omentum.

Last year, researchers at the University of California, Riverside, developed a novel “molecular crowbar” strategy to degrade the #oncogenic enzyme Pin1, a #protein that is overexpressed in many #tumors including #pancreatic cancer. They designed compounds that bind to Pin1 and destabilize its structure, causing its cellular degradation.
