Combination chemotherapy with epirubicin-cisplatin was employed after surgical treatment in 67 women with ovarian carcinoma. 50 mg/m2 of epirubicin and cisplatin each were administered at monthly intervals. The response rate was correlated with the clinical stage and the residual disease. Tumor regression (CR + PR) was observed in 63.6% of patients with stage III disease, and in 50% of those with stage IV disease. Furthermore, complete or partial responses were obtained in 86.4% of patients with a residual deposit of 2-5 cm, and in 33.3% of women with a residual deposit exceeding 5 cm in diameter. Anemia occurred in 47.8%, leukopenia in 43.3%, and thrombocytopenia in 4.5% of the patients. No cardiotoxicity was recorded.

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.
