In this episode, we discuss work towards overcoming resistance to ovarian cancer treatment.

Our guest is Dr Melissa Pitman, ovarian cancer researcher at the Centre for Cancer Biology.

We learn about:

  • why ovarian cancer is known as the 'silent killer'
  • why chemotherapy resistance is a major problem when treating ovarian cancer
  • how Dr Pitman is using lab models to understand why some cancers become resistant and how they can be re-sensitised to treatment
