Abstrakt: Complete pathological responses, as defined by multiple negative intraperitoneal biopsies at second-look laparotomy, were recorded in 22 of 120 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. Patients had been previously treated with either high-dose single agent cisplatinum (19) or total abdominal and pelvic irradiation (3). Nine of 21 (43%) evaluable patients developed recurrent disease after 'negative' second-look laparotomy. The median time to relapse was 15 months (3-19) and the median survival after relapse, 4 months (1-6). One patient remains alive with evidence of disease.
