Aim: This study investigated the ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter (ABCA1, ABCB1, ABCB3, ABCC2 and ABCG2) expression in high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) tissues, cell lines and primary cells to determine their potential relationship with acquired chemotherapy resistance and patient outcome. The gene discussed is ABCC2; the disease is ovarian serous adenocarcinoma.
