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'

- how Dr Pitman is using lab models to understand why some cancers become resistant and how they can be re-sensitised to treatment
