Abstract
We have evaluated the feasibility of an increase in dose intensity of the cisplatin, epidoxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (PEC) regimen, with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) support, in 22 patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Twenty-one patients (95.4%) received six cycles of treatment: of these, 13 (61.9%) were also able to repeat cycles every 14 days as planned. Marrow toxicity was similar to that observed during conventional treatments. No severe mucositis or thrombocytopenia was observed. A clinical complete response was observed in 9 out of 16 evaluable patients (56.2%).Entities:
