Abstract
The chemotherapy of advanced ovarian cancer is reviewed. Treatment with single agents results in low remission rates and few complete remissions. The results have been improved with modern combination chemotherapy, which includes cisplatin, although a longer follow up is needed for definite conclusions to be made concerning survival. Toxicity and drug resistance remain important problems. The future prospects of treatment with emphasis on intraperitoneal chemotherapy are discussed.Entities:
