MIAMI BEACH - Thrombocytosis is associated with more aggressive tumor biology in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, according to a recent retrospective study.
That finding has immediate implications for the management of ovarian cancer patients with thrombocytosis. Specifically, because cancers are more likely to recur in patients with thrombocytosis, it is appropriate to individualize treatment and consider using experimental therapies in an effort to improve long-term survival in these patients, Dr. Andrew J.
