Deskripsi

Advanced ovarian cancer usually spreads to the omentum. Here, the authors show that circulating intelectin-1 (ITLN1) has prognostic significance in patients with advanced ovarian cancer, and that mesothelial cell-derived ITLN1 in the omental tumor microenvironment suppresses ovarian cancer progression.
