Provided are compositions and methods for the identification and treatment of ovarian cancers, such as small cell ovarian cancers, in particular small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT), which ovarian cancers are characterized by reduced SMARCA4 gene expression and/or protein function and, as a consequence, are sensitive to growth and/or survival inhibition by one or more compounds that restore SMARCA4 gene expression and/or protein function.
本发明提供了用于鉴定和治疗卵巢癌,如小细胞卵巢癌,特别是卵巢高
钙型小细胞癌(SCCOHT)的组合物和方法,这种卵巢癌的特征是SMARCA4
基因表达和/或蛋白功能降低,因此对一种或多种恢复SMARCA4
基因表达和/或蛋白功能的化合物的生长和/或存活抑制敏感。
