Popis: Consolidation treatment of advanced ovarian carcinoma, especially the place of intraperitoneal chemotherapy, remains a controversial subject. From January 1988 to July 1995, 39 patients, median age 54 years, received intraperitoneal chemotherapy as consolidation treatment after second-look surgery. At the time of intraperitoneal chemotherapy, 30 patients had no residual disease. Intraperitoneal drug administration used a Tenckoff catheter or a lumbar needle. Treatment combined 5 fluorouracil 1 g/m2 and cisplatin 200 mg/m2, associated with a systemic sodium thiosulfate rescue as nephroprotector. A pharmacological analysis was done for 9 patients: the exposure of peritoneal cavity to cisplatin exceeded that of the plasma by 11 fold. Hematologic and nephrologic toxicity were acceptable. The median follow-up is 43 months. The disease free survival is 36,6 months, but 48,5 months if no residual disease at the time of intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Consolidation treatment by intense intraperitoneal chemotherapy is a feasible approach and might be beneficial in chemosensitive patients devoid of macroscopic remnants, but must be compared with others approaches.
