Abstract

Advanced ovarian cancer is the most serious among gynecological malignancies and is associated with 35% five-year overall survival. Surgery is the first therapeutic indication, and the absence of remaining macroscopic lesions is the most important prognostic factor. However, tumor dissemination over the whole abdominal cavity largely contributes to the difficulty of complete surgical resection. Consequently, any therapeutic approach that may complete surgical resection should improve patient survival. Considering that some sites are not suitable for surgery because of their close location to vital organs, intraoperative photodynamic therapy (ioPDT) appears to be a complementary therapeutic approach to surgery to obtain the lowest residual disease.

Relevant in vivo cancer models that closely resemble human ovarian cancer are essential for preclinical research of alternative antitumor therapeutic strategies. Thus, we propose a comprehensive protocol to set up an orthotopic ovarian xenograft in mice leading to peritoneal carcinomatosis that could be harnessed for antitumor therapeutic application and evaluation.
