Franco M. Muggia, MD, PhD, professor, Department of Medicine, NYU Langone Medical Center, discusses targeted therapies for patients with ovarian cancer.
The BRCA mutations occur in many of the patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancers, explains Muggia. For patients with low-grade serous disease, the major target is estrogen receptors—making anti-estrogen agents beneficial.
