Abstract
Ovarian cancer is an aggressive malignancy and the leading cause of death among gynecologic cancers. Researchers have evaluated prophylactic medications that potentially avert the manifestation of ovarian cancer, but currently, there are no reliable screening measures for this disease. Nevertheless, the largest study involving aspirin use and ovarian cancer reported a substantive risk reduction from enduring aspirin use. Since there are countervailing data to impugn the potential benefits of aspirin use in staving off ovarian cancer, further research should scrutinize the use of this medication as a prophylactic intervention, especially in women who are at higher risk for developing the disease.
期刊介绍：
Cancer Investigation is one of the most highly regarded and recognized journals in the field of basic and clinical oncology. It is designed to give physicians a comprehensive resource on the current state of progress in the cancer field as well as a broad background of reliable information necessary for effective decision making. In addition to presenting original papers of fundamental significance, it also publishes reviews, essays, specialized presentations of controversies, considerations of new technologies and their applications to specific laboratory problems, discussions of public issues, miniseries on major topics, new and experimental drugs and therapies, and an innovative letters to the editor section. One of the unique features of the journal is its departmentalized editorial sections reporting on more than 30 subject categories covering the broad spectrum of specialized areas that together comprise the field of oncology. Edited by leading physicians and research scientists, these sections make Cancer Investigation the prime resource for clinicians seeking to make sense of the sometimes-overwhelming amount of information available throughout the field. In addition to its peer-reviewed clinical research, the journal also features translational studies that bridge the gap between the laboratory and the clinic.
