Abstract
Ovarian cancer is one of the most aggressive malignant tumors in women. The role of hormone therapy in the treatment for ovarian cancer is not fully studied up to now. The literature contains data on the efficacy and safety of treatment with antiestrogens and aromatase inhibitors for recurrent ovarian cancer. The article summarizes the epidemiology, preclinical and clinical studies related to the role of estrogen and aromatase expression in this disease as well as the role of aromatase inhibitors in the treatment for ovarian cancer.References
