The common treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer is aggressive surgery followed by platinum-based cytotoxic chemotherapy. However, residual tumor cells are resistant to chemotherapeutic drugs during postoperative recurrence. The treatment of ovarian cancer requires new breakthroughs and advances. In recent years, magnesium alloy has been widely developed as a new biodegradable material because of its great potential in the field of medical devices. From the degradation products of magnesium, biodegradable magnesium implants have great potential in anti-tumor. According to the disease characteristics of ovarian cancer, we choose it to study the anti-tumor characteristics of biodegradable magnesium. We tested the anti-ovarian tumor properties of Mg through both in vivo and in vitro experiments. According to the optical in vivo imaging and relative tumor volume statistics of mice, high-purity Mg wires significantly inhibited the growth of SKOV3 cells in vivo. We find that the degradation products of Mg, Mg2+ and H2, significantly inhibit the growth of SKOV3 cells and promote their apoptosis. Our study suggests a good promise for treatment of ovarian cancer.

Background: To investigate the potential effects of molecular hydrogen on ovarian cancer. Methods: The in vivo study was performed using Hs38.T xenografted BALB/c nude mice. The mean tumor volume was monitored during 6 weeks of hydrogen inhalation. ...
Background: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of hydrogen rich saline solution (HRSS) in a rat model of ovarian ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods: Thirty-six female Wistar-albino rats were grouped randomly, into six groups of six ...
Although intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has been developed as an alternative to conventional radiotherapy, reducing bone marrow damage is limited. Thus, a novel technology is needed to further mitigate IMRT-induced bone marrow damage. ...
Carcinostatic effects of combined use of ascorbic acid (Asc), 2-O-phospho- or 6-O-palmitoyl ascorbate (Asc2Phos, Asc6Palm) or diverse alkanoyl Asc, and nano-sized platinum-poly(N-vinyl-pyrrolidone) colloid (PVP-Pt; 2-nm diameter) were examined on ...
Introduction: Chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CINP) is one of the most common complications of chemotherapeutic drugs which limits the dose and duration of potentially life-saving anticancer treatment and compromises the quality of life of ...
