( rding to the American Cancer Society i...)Novelos Therapeutics Announces Encouraging Results in Ongoing Phase,2 Ovarian Cancer Trial at Dana-Farber/Partners Cancer Care,Health

rding to the American Cancer Society, in 2006 approximately 20,000 U.S. women were expected to be diagnosed with ovarian cancer and 15,000 women were expected to die from it. There is a lack of effective treatment, particularly in the case of platinum-resistant patients. Once a woman's ovarian cancer is defined as platinum-resistant the chance of having a partial or complete response to further platinum therapy is typically less than 10%. Thus, there is a major unmet medical need for this indication.
