Combined with the previous study in vitro, this study evaluates an effective approach on the treatment of paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer which expresses somatostatin receptor SSTR.
These results show that Neuropilin-1 is expressed in ovarian tumours and also show that VEGF and SST are co-expressed in the same tissue compartments raising the intriguing possibility that SST may be important in angiogenesis in ovarian cancer.
