Summary: Scientists found that a chemotherapy drug that is designed to kill tumors can actually result in ovarian cancer. The immature cells are less than 1 percent of an ovarian cancer, but it only takes a few to restart a tumor. Researchers found a protein called Mullerian, which stops the growth of cancer stem cells. It is still not completely clear that the protein can stop all types of ovarian cancer.
Critique/Impact: This article can be useful to many cancer patients. It can help them decide on what treatments they want. This advancement will help with science technology and treatments.
