[Adjuvant chemotherapy in ovarian carcinoma. Preliminary results]. 1993

M Velikova, and V Tsvekova, and K Koĭnov

The study is prospective and includes 72 patients. All the patients are subjected to surgical treatment--total hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy and partial or total omentectomy and all of them are without macroscopic metastases in the abdominal cavity. Adjuvant chemotherapy includes from 3 to 5 courses of combination chemotherapy with platinum preparation (Bio-cisplatinum) in intervals of 30 days. Seven out of 72 studied patients (9.7%) have shown recurrence of the neoplastic disease. These patients are in stage II and III. Four of them are at age below 50 years, while the other 3--over 50. With the greatest relative part are the recurrent patients with granulosa cell cancer--33%, followed by the patients with mixed histologic type--25%, with mesonephric cancer--17% and papillary cystadenocarcinoma--10%. Regardless the small number of patients in the different groups, a tendency is outlined for a better therapeutic results after application of adjuvant chemotherapy in sensitive to cytostatic treatment histologic types of ovarian cancer. The disease free interval and the survival prolong, especially in II and III stage patients. Better therapeutic results are achieved by application of 5 courses of platinum including chemotherapy than by the application of 3 courses.

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.

D003520 Cyclophosphamide Precursor of an alkylating nitrogen mustard antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent that must be activated in the LIVER to form the active aldophosphamide. It has been used in the treatment of LYMPHOMA and LEUKEMIA. Its side effect, ALOPECIA, has been used for defleecing sheep. Cyclophosphamide may also cause sterility, birth defects, mutations, and cancer.
