Fighting ovarian cancer: Study gives hope – mRNA active ingredient kills tumor. Every year in Germany around 7,300 women suffer from ovarian cancer.
Ovarian cancer is one of the most aggressive types of cancer. The cancer is often only discovered late, when it is already well advanced and metastases have already formed. However, researchers have now achieved a groundbreaking success in combating ovarian cancer by developing an artificial mRNA that shrinks and kills tumor cells. In the next step, the scientists would like to test the mRNA on ovarian patients.
