Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the deadliest of all gynecological diseases because its diagnosis and treatment still pose many problems. Surgical excision, hormone therapy, radiation, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy for eradicating the main tumor and halting the spread of metastases are among the treatment options available to individuals with ovarian cancer, depending on the disease’s stage. Tumor DNA that circulates in a patient’s bodily fluids has been studied recently as a possible novel biomarker for a number of cancers, as well as a means of quantifying tumor size and evaluating the efficacy of cancer therapy. The most significant alterations that we could find in the ctDNA of ovarian cancer patients—such as chromosomal instability, somatic mutations, and methylation—are discussed in this review. Additionally, we talk about the utility of ctDNA in diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy response prediction for these patients.
