Consolidation/maintenance chemotherapy for ovarian cancer

Maurie Markman. Curr Oncol Rep. 2003 Nov.

Abstract

A recently reported randomized trial has demonstrated that administration of single-agent paclitaxel to women with advanced ovarian cancer who attain a clinically defined complete response to platinum/paclitaxel-based chemotherapy can substantially improve progression-free survival. Whether this strategy will improve overall survival in this clinical setting remains uncertain.
