Ovarian cancer, accounting for 3% of women's cancers, is a deadly form that originates in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or peritoneum. It includes epithelial, germ cell, and stromal tumors, each derived from distinct ovarian cell types. Epithelial tumors, originating from surface cells, are the most common.
Early symptoms of ovarian cancer, like bloating and pelvic pain, can be subtle and easily overlooked. Advanced signs include changes in bowel habits and fatigue. Risk factors include genetics, family history, and age, while protective factors include oral contraceptives and pregnancy.
The market is anticipated to witness a substantial positive shift owing to better uptake of existing drugs, the expected market launch of one-time gene therapies, and raised awareness.
The United States accounts for the largest market size of Ovarian Cancer, in comparison to EU4 (Germany, Spain, Italy, France), the United Kingdom, and Japan.
Ovarian cancer often has warning signs, but the earliest symptoms are vague and easy to dismiss. It may cause several signs and symptoms. The symptoms are often very subtle and easily mistaken for other, more common problems. Early symptoms include bloating, pelvic pain, frequent urination, and feeling full quickly with eating whereas advanced symptoms include changes in bowel habits, back pain, ascites, fatigue, and others.
Diagnosis of ovarian cancer starts with a detailed medical history and physical examination. The physical examination consists of a pelvic and rectal examination. Additionally, it should assess for signs of endocrine dysfunction, paraneoplastic syndromes, and metastatic disease, including inguinal or left supraclavicular lymphadenopathy, pleural effusion, and umbilical mass.
The goal of treatment for ovarian cancer is to surgically remove as much cancer as possible through debulking and then to provide what is called an adjuvant, or additional therapy, such as chemotherapy, to kill any possible remaining cancer cells in the body. Currently, there are several types of medications used for treatment purposes, namely PARP Inhibitors, Immunomodulators, Anti-angiogenic agents, platinum-containing compounds, and others. At times, combination therapy and dietary supplementation are also prescribed.
Some of the approved therapies- RUBRACA (Rucaparib), ZEJULA (Niraparib) and LYNPARZA (Olaparib).
In May 2024, Allarity Therapeutics completed a Phase II trial for stenoparib (2X-121) due to significant clinical benefits observed in the initial trial phases. The company plans to initiate a subsequent trial with the quickest path to regulatory submission for stenoparib.

Ovarian Cancer Overview, Country-Specific Treatment Guidelines and Diagnosis
Ovarian cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the ovaries or nearby areas like the fallopian tubes and peritoneum. The ovaries, located on either side of the uterus, produce eggs for reproduction and female hormones like estrogen and progesterone.
Diagnosis of ovarian cancer starts with a detailed medical history and physical examination. The physical examination consists of a pelvic and rectal examination. Additionally, it should assess for signs of endocrine dysfunction, paraneoplastic syndromes, and metastatic disease, including inguinal or left supraclavicular lymphadenopathy, pleural effusion, and umbilical mass. There is no one test to diagnose OC, instead, the physicians take into consideration the symptoms together with the results of patient history, physical examination, biopsies, blood tests, and imaging scans- ultrasound, CT, and MRI. Other than this labs tests like Full Blood Count (FBC), Tumor Marker Tests, and Genetic testing, etc. are also performed.
