Ovarian cancer is the most lethal malignancy in the gynecological field. Even though there have been a lot of progresses in the medical sector, ovarian cancer remains a big challenge for the healthcare providers all over the world. The majority of women are diagnosed in advanced stages of the disease, such as stage III or IV, as ovarian cancer is usually asymptomatic and has restricted screening tests. In the past years, significant achievements have been made regarding therapeutically approach for women with ovarian cancer, with a development of surgical and medical treatment. Heterogeneity is one of the most important characteristics of ovarian cancer. Genetic factors have a great influence on this pathology, leading to major therapeutic challenges. Newly diagnosed oncologic patients have the recommendations of being genetically tested, in order to find any alteration that could guide the approach and treatment throughout the disease. Over time, agents that target certain pathways involved in the tumor process have been discovered. They have specific targets, thus achieving control over the multiplication and expansion of tumor cells. The treatment options changed gradually and most of the progresses have been linked to molecularly targeted therapies.
