Differences in Ovarian Cancer Cells and Normal Ovarian Cells
Comparison of normal ovarian cells with advanced ovarian cancer cells demonstrated genetic differences (study at the Medical University of Vienna, Clinic for Internal Medicine). In normal ovarian cells two genes are always activated, N33 and EFA6R. In some cases, these genes are almost completely inactivated in ovarian cancer cells. It appears as if these genes lose their ability to function before the onset of clinical symptoms, and are therefore good candidates for early identification of the disease.
