Abstract
Ovarian cancer cells mainly metastasise within the peritoneal cavity, the lethal consequence of tumour progression in this cancer type. Classically, changes in tumour cells, such as epithelial to mesenchymal transition, involve the down-regulatinon of E-cadherin, activation of extracellular proteases and integrin-mediated adhesion. However, our current understanding of ovarian tumour progression suggests the implication of both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. It has been proposed that ovarian cancer metastases are a consequence of the crosstalk between cancer cells and the tumour microenvironment by soluble factors and extracellular vesicles. Characterisation of the alterations in both the tumour cells and the surrounding microenvironment has emerged as a new research field to understand ovarian cancer metastasis. In this mini review, we will summarise the most recent findings, focusing our attention on the role of secreted factors and extracellular vesicles in ovarian cancer metastasis.
期刊介绍：
EJC Supplements is an open access companion journal to the European Journal of Cancer. As an open access journal, all published articles are subject to an Article Publication Fee. Immediately upon publication, all articles in EJC Supplements are made openly available through the journal''s websites.
EJC Supplements will consider for publication the proceedings of scientific symposia, commissioned thematic issues, and collections of invited articles on preclinical and basic cancer research, translational oncology, clinical oncology and cancer epidemiology and prevention.
Authors considering the publication of a supplement in EJC Supplements are requested to contact the Editorial Office of the EJC to discuss their proposal with the Editor-in-Chief.
EJC Supplements is an official journal of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), the European CanCer Organisation (ECCO) and the European Society of Mastology (EUSOMA).
