Abstract
Thirty-seven patients with advanced ovarian cancer were treated in a prospective, randomised trial comparing chlorambucil with a combination of cyclophosphamide and cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (cis DDP). Treatment with the combination was associated with an increased overall response rate (69% versus 23%) (p = 0.04). A response was associated with a longer median survival but no survival advantage was demonstrated for patients who received cyclophosphamide/cis DDP. A larger study is needed to evaluate fully the potential of regimens containing cis DDP in the management of advanced ovarian cancer.Entities:
