Abstract: Ovarian cancer is a common malignant tumor in the female reproductive system, and its pathogenesis and regulatory mechanisms are extremely complex and still unclear. Fatty acid metabolism mainly involves the processes of fatty acid uptake, synthesis, and oxidation. Previous studies have shown that fatty acid metabolism plays a unique role in the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer. Therefore, this article reviews existing literature and delves into the correlation between fatty acid metabolism and ovarian cancer, aiming to provide new perspectives and reflections on the mechanism of fatty acid metabolism and targeted treatment of ovarian cancer.

Key words: Ovarian cancer, Fatty acid metabolism, Enzymes, Targeted therapy
