Abstract

After intensive staging 74 ovarian cancer patients were randomized to two arms balanced for stage and post-surgery residual tumor. The two regimens were CTX 100 mg/day continuously and ADM 50 mg/m2 IV every 4 weeks plus CTX 100 mg/day. The response rates were respectively 42% and 52%. Median survival times were 13 and 14 months. The incidence of side effects was significantly higher in the combination-treatment arm. No other statistical differences were found.
