Popis: We performed a dose-escalation study of carboplatin combined with a fixed dose of intraperitoneal cisplatin and G-CSF in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, and analyzed the progression-free and overall survival. Six of the patients who entered the study with stage IC and II disease are still alive with no evidence of disease. The five-year survival rate was 61% for the 18 patients with stage III and IV disease; progression-free survival over 5 years was 32%. Our results show this to be an effective treatment regimen for epithelial ovarian cancer. Prognosis is good with this combined carboplatin/cisplatin/G-CSF therapy, especially for those patients with microscopic or no residual disease.
