Popis: | To investigate the effectiveness and adverse effects of gemcitabine by fixed-dose rate infusion plus oxaliplatin (GEMOX regimen) as second-line therapy for advanced ovarian cancer.64 patients with advanced ovarian cancer were divided into an experimental group (44 cases) and a control group (20 cases). The experimental group was treated with continuous intravenous infusion of gemcitabine at 1000 mg/m(2) with a fixed-dose rate of 10 mg/m(2)/min, on days 1 and 8 and oxaliplatin at 100 mg/m(2) on day 1, IVGTT, repeated every 3 weeks. The control group was treated with intravenous infusion of gemcitabine at 1000 mg/m(2) within 30 min on days 1 and and oxaliplatin at 100 mg/m(2) on day 1, IVGTT, again repeated every 3 weeks. CT scans or MRI were used for review every 1-2 cycles.The effective rate in the experimental group was significantly high than control group (43.2% vs 35.0%; P0.05), with no obvious difference of hematologic or non-hematologic toxicity between the two groups (P0.05).GEMOX regimen is very effective to treat advanced ovarian cancer, with low toxicity, good tolerance and improved life quality in patients. |
