Molecular Determinants of Advanced Disease in Ovarian Granulosa Cell Tumours [ 2014 - 2016 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Peter Fuller (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Simon Chu

Brief description Granulosa cell tumours of the ovary (GCT) represent 5-10% of malignant ovarian cancers. They are distinct from the more common epithelial tumours and although considered to have a much better prognosis, they have a propensity to late recurrence. Recurrent or aggressive GCT have a poor prognosis. These studies will investigate the molecular basis of recurrence and aggressive behaviour in GCT. This will provide both prognostic information and also potential therapeutic targets.
