Establishment of Epithelial Cell Culture from Ovarian Cancer Tissues: A Method Comparison Study

Abstract

deaths among women occurred due to ovarian cancer globally, accounting up to 4,4% cancer-related mortality among women (Momenimovahed et al., 2019). In the United States alone, it was estimated that the new cases of ovarian cancer may reach up to 22,240 cases with mortality of up to 14,070 cases annually (Torre et al., 2018). In Asia, the incidence of ovarian cancer accounts for 111,887 cases with 66,215 related deaths, with China as the country with the highest incidence (World Ovarian Cancer Coalition, 2018). The trend of ovarian cancer incidence was estimated to increase reaching up to 371,000 in the year of 2035 with death cases of up to 254,.000 or 67% of all the cases (World Ovarian Cancer Coalition, 2018).Epithelial ovarian cancer is often diagnosed at advanced stages due to its nature that does not show any
