Angiogenesis is a proven clinical target for the treatment of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (VEGFR-TKIs) offer patients potential new treatment regimens as they can be given as monotherapy, in combination with
A late phase II study of CPT-11, a new derivative of camptothecin, in uterine cervical cancer and ovarian cancer was carried out by a cooperative study group at 26 institutions. Out of 144 patients enrolled, total cases were 110, involving 55 uterine cervical cancers and 55 ovarian cancers. In
The effect of oral etoposide on CA-125 serum levels was evaluated in 17 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer and progressive disease during, or relapsing after, prior chemotherapy. Only three patients had measurable lesions at extraperitoneal sites. Five had no measurable lesions. The oral
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of combination chemotherapy with intravenous irinotecan and oral etoposide in women with platinum- and taxane-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer.
METHODS
Between October 2002 and September 2005, we studied 27 women with platinum- and taxane-resistant
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination chemotherapy regimen of irinotecan plus oral etoposide for the treatment of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer after previous treatment with platinum and taxane agents.
METHODS
A total of 42 patients with recurrent ovarian cancer
BACKGROUND
Maintenance therapy with targeted agents for prolonging remission for ovarian cancer patients remains controversial. As a result, a meta-analysis was conducted to assess the effectiveness and safety of using maintenance therapy with targeted agents for the treatment of ovarian
Ovarian cancer is the most frequent cause of death due to gynecologic malignancy in both the United States and in Europe. A phase III investigation compared second line treatment Caelyx with topotecan in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma who failed a first-line platinum-containing
OBJECTIVE
The goal of this study was to determine the optimal dose of topotecan when used in combination with high-dose melphalan and cyclophosphamide (TMC), and to assess the toxicity and efficacy of the regimen in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.
METHODS
Fifty-three patients with persistent
Women with recurrent, multiply-treated epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) have unfavorable prognosis with limited treatment options after failure of platinum-based regimens. We report here a retrospective analysis of women with recurrent, platinum-resistant EOC treated with an oral OBJECTIVE
A descriptive study was performed to evaluate the variables which influence the quality of life of women with ovarian cancer undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
METHODS
The study involved a chart review of 60 women with ovarian cancer and analysis of their compiled EORTC QLQ-C30 Quality of
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of whole abdomen radiation as a chemosensitizer of weekly docetaxel for women with recurrent epithelial ovarian fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancers.
METHODS
Women were enrolled on one of
The effectiveness and tolerability of xeloda (capecitabine), a tumor-reactivated oral fluoropyrimidine, alone were investigated in 19 patients, aged 39-79, with relapsing and cisplatin-resistant ovarian tumors. Unfavorable prognosis of chemotherapy was in 11 cases (57.8%): cisplatin-resistant tumors
OBJECTIVE
To determine the activity of capecitabine in women with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.
METHODS
In this multi-centre phase II trial, 35 patients with platinum-resistant ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube carcinomas were treated with capecitabine 1250 mg/m(2) twice daily for
BACKGROUND
Recurrent ovarian cancer (OVCA) has become the model for cancer as a chronic disease, yet little is known about what motivates patients and physicians in treatment choices.
METHODS
We investigated the attitudes of patients with epithelial OVCA and staff towards palliative chemotherapy for
OBJECTIVE
Ovarian cancers (OCs) frequently have HER2 activation in the absence of HER2 overexpression. Pertuzumab, a humanized antibody that prevents HER2 dimerization and inhibits multiple HER-mediated pathways, was studied in a phase II, multicenter trial in advanced, refractory
