Platinum-based drugs continue to be the mainstay of therapy for ovarian cancer. Along with adverse effects, chemoresistance (intrinsic or acquired) has become a major limitation in the management of recurrent disease. Even though much is known about the effects of platinum drugs on cancer cells, the mechanisms underlying resistance are poorly understood. In this review, we summarize the current data on chemoresistance and discuss novel strategies to reverse resistance to platinum-based drugs. The most important targets highlighted here include Aurora kinases, PARP, ATP7B, and ERCC1. Furthermore, we discuss the implications of these novel approaches for ovarian cancer treatment.
