Abstract
Purpose of review: This review addresses the emerging role of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in the treatment of ovarian cancer, a field marked by a high need for more effective and targeted therapies. Given the recent advancements in ADC technology and the ongoing challenges in treating ovarian cancer, particularly in late-stage and recurrent cases, this review is both timely and relevant. It synthesizes current research findings and clinical trial data, highlighting the potential of ADCs to revolutionize ovarian cancer treatment.
Recent findings: The review covers key themes including the mechanism of action of ADCs, their specificity in targeting ovarian cancer cells, recent clinical trial outcomes, advancements in ADC design for improved efficacy and reduced toxicity, and strategies to overcome drug resistance in ovarian cancer. It also addresses the heterogeneity of ovarian cancer and the implications for personalized ADC therapies.
Summary: The review underscores the potential of ADCs to significantly impact clinical practice, offering a more effective and personalized treatment approach for ovarian cancer patients. The review suggests a paradigm shift in the treatment of this malignancy, emphasizing the need for further research and development in this area.
