Researchers from the group of Hans Clevers at the Hubrecht Institute have modeled the development and progression of high-grade serous ovarian cancer in mini-versions, or organoids, of the female reproductive organs of the mouse. They found that the cells of the oviduct, the equivalent of fallopian tubes in humans, are more prone to develop into tumors than the ovarian surface epithelium, the outer layer of the ovaries. This may influence future changes in preventive treatment.
