US RESEARCHERS at New York’s
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have
discovered the protein that helps
spreads ovarian cancer, bringing
new hope that more women with
the disease can be protected.
Two thirds of women are not
diagnosed with the disease until
stage 3 or later, by which time it is
very difficult to manage, with less
