Abstract

BACKGROUND: Diverse cell types and cellular states in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are drivers of biological and therapeutic heterogeneity in ovarian cancer (OV). Characterization of the diverse malignant and immunology cellular states that make up the TME and their associations with clinical outcomes are critical for cancer therapy. However, we are still lack of knowledge about the cellular states and their clinical relevance in OV.
