===Ovarian Cancer Predictive Bio-Marker===
Recent studies have been trying to find a potential link between the amount of ASNS activity in certain cell cultures as a precursor for L-Asparaginase activity. L-Asparaginase is an enzyme that degrades Asparagine and has been used since the 1970's in basic cancer treatment plans for acute lympohoblastic leukemia (site MCT). The body will naturally secrete L-Asparaginase as a response to a potential forming tumor or potential cancer cell aggregation. These studies are finding a correlation between the amount of ASNS being expressed prior to the expression of L-Asparaginase synthetase, since
