Zusammenfassung: | Ovarian cancer is the most lethal type of gynecologic cancer in the Western world. The high case fatality rate is due in part because most ovarian cancer patients present with advanced stage disease which is essentially incurable. In order to obtain a whole genome assessment of aberrant gene expression in advanced ovarian cancer, we used oligonucleotide microarrays comprising over 40 000 features to profile 37 advanced stage papillary serous primary carcinomas. We identified 1191 genes that were significantly (
