Abstract
Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women in the United States. Metastasis to the central nervous system has become more frequent in the previous decades, however, treatment options remain limited. In this review, we discuss the pathophysiology of ovarian cancer and how metastasis to the central nervous system typically occurs. We then discuss cases of metastasis presented in the literature to evaluate current treatment regimens and protocols. Finally, we highlight emerging treatment options that are being utilized in clinics to provide personalized treatment therapy for a patient’s unique diagnosis. This review aims to further the understanding of pathophysiology, stimulate further innovative treatments, and present accessible resources through tables and figures.
