A pilot study to evaluate the role of STAT3 in angiogenesis, tumor cell proliferation and survival in ovarian cancer

This study will look at a family of genes (STAT3) and their impact on the process of cell death. With a greater understanding the role of STAT3, researchers hope to improve bevacizumab, a known therapy for ovarian cancer.
