Ovarian cancer metastasis study identifies important protein with potential as diagnostic tool and treatment option
Advanced ovarian cancer most commonly metastasizes to the omentum, a layer of fatty tissue that wraps around and protects internal organs in the abdomen, but the reasons for this have not been well-understood. In a new study, MD Anderson researchers discovered that a protein called omentin, or ITLN1, works to prevent metastasis of the cancer cells, but it is lost as the cancer develops.
