Folate receptor alpha in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer: prevalence in a multicenter Polish cohort and review of the evidence
Approximately half of the ovarian cancer patients in this multicenter Polish cohort demonstrated FOLR1 positivity. Although this prevalence is lower than that reported in high-grade serous carcinoma cohorts, it likely reflects histological heterogeneity and methodological differences between studies. These findings provide the first population-based evidence from Poland and support the implementation of FOLR1 testing to guide access to mirvetuximab soravtansine. Further research integrating clinical and molecular data is warranted to validate these results and assess implications for cost-effectiveness and patient outcomes.
