Ovarian cancer: Scientists find a way to launch dual attack

Ovarian Cancer is a 5^th most common cause of deaths in Women. Ovarian cancer is a disease with a poor prognosis and little progress has been made to improve treatment. It is now recognized that there are several histotypes of ovarian cancer, each with distinct epidemiologic and genomic characteristics. Cancer therapy is moving beyond classical chemotherapy to include epigenetic approaches.

His study states that the Two Targets hitting on the cancer cells could gently increase the power of antibody therapy to kill the Ovarian Cancer-causing cells.

Antibody Therapy (Mostly monoclonal antibody therapy) is the type of Immune therapy or immune therapy in this therapeutic method the antibodies will bind mono specifically to the protein or certain cells in the immune system.  It will help to stimulate the immune system of the patient who are all fighting against to the Ovarian cancer cells

Alternatively, Radioimmunotherapy Is the radioactive dose that will localizes the cell line delivering lethal chemical doses, that uses enhanced anti bodies to identify diseases targets and kill them. It is success in treating the Ovarian Cancer and solid tumors.

The hostile microenvironment of the tumor which makes it hard for antibodies designed to kill cancer cells to reach them.

They were approaching the “two-pronged" antibody that will hit the two-target antibody on the Ovarian Cancer Cell.

Ovarian cancer and immunotherapy

Some of the Therapies use the antibodies as a Markers that the other immune cells can easily spot their targets and destroy the cancer cells. Ovarian Cancer forms solid tumors that means the malignant growth do not usually contain liquid or cysts.

Antibodies with Two Heads

The researchers focused on how to overcome the hostility of the Microenvironment. This is how they came up with the idea of antibodies with two heads
