How can targeted therapy treat ovarian cancer
Ovarian cancer is one of the most challenging cancers to treat, but advances in medicine are creating new hope. One of the most promising approaches today is called targeted therapy.

Leading medical oncolgist Professor Susana Banerjee provides an overview of how targeted therapy works, what options are available, and what to consider when discussing this treatment with your medical team.
