Platelet adhesion and degranulation induce pro-survival and pro-angiogenic signalling in ovarian cancer cells.

Thrombosis is common in ovarian cancer. However, the interaction of platelets with ovarian cancer cells has not been critically examined. To address this, we investigated platelet interactions in a range of ovarian cancer cell lines with different metastatic potentials [HIO-80, 59M, SK-OV-3, A2780,...
