FDA Approved Leukemia Drugs Shows Promise In Ovarian Cancer Cells

The drug, when paired with a chemotherapy regimen, was even more effective in fighting ovarian cancer in cell lines in which signaling of the Src family kinases, associated with the deadly disease, is activated.

Ovarian cancer, which will strike 21,600 women this year and kill 15,500, causes more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system.

The most common malignancies affecting the periocular region are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, sebaceous cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma. Basal cell carcinoma accounts for 90% of all eyelid malignancies. The tumor primarily involves the lower eyelid (50% to 66%) and the medial canthus (25% to 30%). The upper eyelid is affected in 15% of cases and the lateral canthus in 5%. Although these statistics are helpful, many skin cancers involve adjacent anatomic areas such as the forehead and cheek, and pose even greater challenges in reconstruction.
