Abstract
Chemotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Patients’ response to chemotherapy is determined by a variety of acknowledged factors, but one might expect that many of them are yet to be described. The aim of this paper was to present the most essential yet still to be generally assessed in clinical practice, factors, which include: E-cadhedrin, hypoxia inducible factor α, survivin, COX-2, clusterin, BRCA1 protein, TP53 protein, YY1 protein, multidrug resistance protein, and interleukin-8.
