Clinical Evaluation of BRCA1/2 Mutation in Mexican Ovarian Cancer Patients
Ovarian cancer (OC) is an important cause of gynecologic cancer-related deaths. In Mexico, around 4700 new cases of OC are diagnosed per year and it represents the second cause of gynecological cancer mortality with more than 2700 deaths.

DNA-PK Mediates AKT Activation and Apoptosis Inhibition in Clinically Acquired Platinum Resistance
Clinical resistance to chemotherapy is a frequent event in cancer treatment and is closely linked to poor outcome. High-grade serous (HGS) ovarian cancer is characterized by p53 mutation and high levels of genomic instability. Treatment includes platinum-
