摘要:
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.
