- Abstract
Ovarian cancer is an intractable disease that is mostly diagnosed at an advanced stage and has a high recurrence rate. The early development of characteristic peritoneal dissemination via ascites contributes to a poor prognosis. Based on the “seed and soil” theory, ovarian cancer is considered to form a disseminated tumor that interacts with the peritoneum; superficial mesothelial cells are structurally important. Thus far, we have reported that peritoneal mesothelial cells, which originally are ecological defenses, transform into ovarian cancer-associated mesothelial cells, which are allies of cancer. They are found to be actively involved in the formation of a friendly “soil” that promotes the survival of “seeds” of ovarian cancer... (More)
Ovarian cancer is an intractable disease that is mostly diagnosed at an advanced stage and has a high recurrence rate. The early development of characteristic peritoneal dissemination via ascites contributes to a poor prognosis. Based on the “seed and soil” theory, ovarian cancer is considered to form a disseminated tumor that interacts with the peritoneum; superficial mesothelial cells are structurally important. Thus far, we have reported that peritoneal mesothelial cells, which originally are ecological defenses, transform into ovarian cancer-associated mesothelial cells, which are allies of cancer. They are found to be actively involved in the formation of a friendly “soil” that promotes the survival of “seeds” of ovarian cancer cells. We also demonstrated that the progression of ovarian cancer and the induction of its refractory nature are partially mediated through competition and cooperation between ovarian cancer and mesothelial cells. We believe that it is necessary to shift the aim of treatment strategies from solely targeting cancer cells to focusing on the crosstalk between the surrounding environment and ovarian cancer, an approach that ultimately aims to achieve “coexistence” with cancer through disease control.
