Exploring the immunoproteome for ovarian cancer
Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynaecological malignancies [1,2]. It accounts for 5% of all cancer deaths among women with an estimated 21,880 new cases and 13,850 deaths from ovarian cancer in the United States in 2010 [2]. The poor prognosis and high mortality rate associated with the disease have not significantly improved over the last 30 years despite advances in treatment [3]. This arises as ovarian cancer development is largely asymptomatic resulting in the majority of patients (62%) presenting with advanced disease (FIGO stage III and IV) [2].
