Ovarian Cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death of women in the United States. Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC) constitutes 85-90% of malignancies within the ovary, with an alarming majority of these cases diagnosed at advanced stage. While most patients are initially highly responsive to the current treatment standard, there is a very high probability that they will recur with a drug resistant fatal disease. Currently there is no validated comprehensive model of disease progression for ovarian cancer, although tremendous progress has been made in understanding the origin of this disease and a putative precursor lesion has been identified …

Introduction: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive, FDA approved therapy for
treatment of several indications including endobronchial and esophageal cancers that are
accessible to light. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and inflammatory breast cancer (IBC)
are aggressive and lethal subtypes of breast cancer that spread to chest wall and dermal
lymphatics, respectively, sites that would be accessible to light. Both TNBC and IBC patients
have a relatively poor survival rate due to lack of targeted therapies. Use of PDT is
underexplored for breast cancers but has been proposed for treatment of subtypes for which a
targeted therapy is unavailable. …
