Clinical value of bioelectrical properties of cancerous tissue in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer patients

Abstract Currently, there are no valid pre-operatively established biomarkers or algorithms that can accurately predict surgical and clinical outcome for patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). In this study, we suggest that profiling of tumour parameters such as bioelectrical-potent...
