What I am working on
Question: How does the epithelial to mesenchymal transition affect the chemosensitivity of epithelial ovarian cancer cells?
Hypothesis: The conversion of an epithelial cell to a mesenchymal cell plays a key role cancer invasion and metastasis. We hypothesize that this metastatic transformation will also be correlated with an increased resistance to standard chemotherapy reagents.
