[A patient with stage IIIc ovarian cancer with massive ascites who was chemotherapy resistant showed complete response with intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemoperfusion].

Intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemoperfusion (IHCP) was performed on a stage IIIc ovarian cancer patient with massive ascites who had been chemotherapy resistant. Complete response was observed after the treatment. A 59-year-old woman with advanced ovarian cancer complained of massive refractory ascites after 2 years' history of chemotherapy. The patient received IHCP combined with surgery to remove the primary tumors and omentum. Soon after the treatment, the massive ascites disappeared and CA125 level decreased to normal. The patient remained free of ascites for 14 months after the treatment.
