Preclinical studies reveal that fructose promotes metastasis in ovarian cancer by reducing cell adhesion, while brigatinib enhances PARP inhibitor efficacy by blocking an early adaptive resistance mechanism. The findings suggest dietary modifications and repurposing a lung cancer drug could improve outcomes for high-grade serous ovarian cancer patients.
