Tumors are the leading cause of death all over the world, among which ovarian cancer ranks the third in gynecological malignancies. The current treatment for ovarian cancer is liable to develop chemotherapy resistance and high recurrence rate, in which a new strategy is demanded. Ferroptosis, a newly discovered manner of regulatory cell death, is shown to be induced by massive iron-dependent accumulation of lipid reactive oxygen species. With the in-depth study of ferroptosis, its associated mechanism with various tumors is gradually elucidated, including ovarian tumor, which probably promotes the application of ferroptosis in treating ovarian cancer. To this end, this review will focus on the history and current research progress of ferroptosis, especially its regulation mechanism, and its potential application as a novel treatment strategy for ovarian cancer.
