Previously, we reported that α-TEA in combination with cisplatin significantly reduced A2780/CP70R ovarian cancer tumor burden and lung metastasis in comparison to single treatments [22], and that the apoptotic properties of α-TEA in human ovarian cancer cells was mediated, at least in part, via Fas (CD95) mitochondrial-dependent apoptotic signaling pathway [27]. This evidence concerns the gene FAS and ovarian cancer.
