WSU ovarian cancer research featured in USA Today

A promising approach for treating advanced ovarian cancer offers new hope for extending survival rates and for preventing tumors from recurring, according to a study from Wayne State University and the Karmanos Cancer Institute presented at last month's International Symposium on Endovascular Therapy in Miami. Researchers treated ovarian cancer patients with cryoablation, a method for freeze destroying tumors which resulted in survival of about 60 months, comparable to the survival rates for women whose tumors do not return after the first surgical procedure.
