Abstract
Recent evidence has suggested improved outcomes following incorporation of intraperitoneal chemotherapy administration with intravenous systemic chemotherapy as first-line treatment of small volume residual epithelial ovarian cancer. This review focuses on the mechanism of actions of the chemotherapeutic drugs and reviews the possible reasons for the superior outcomes of intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

Drugs and Mitochondria
Mitochondria play a central role in the life and death of cells. They are not merely the center for energy metabolism but are also the headquarters for different catabolic and anabolic processes, calcium fluxes, and various signaling pathways. Mitochondria maintain homeostasis in the cell by interacting with reactive oxygen-nitrogen species ...read more
Mitochondria as a Therapeutic Target in Metabolic Disorders
Mitochondria are the primary site of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in mammalian cells. Moreover, these organelles are an important source of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in virtually any nucleated cell type. The modulation of a myriad of cellular signaling pathways depends on the mitochondrial physiology. Mitochondrial dysfunction is observed ...read more
