Researchers at The Wistar Institute took ovarian cancer cells that had survived chemotherapy, removed the cells entirely, and kept only the liquid they had been sitting in.

Ovarian cancer cells that survived cisplatin released fructose, which made neighboring tumor cells more capable of detaching and spreading in cells and in mice. Should ovarian cancer patients stop taking statins? Why does ovarian cancer spread matter so much?
