Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) has become a major component in the routine management of epithelial ovarian cancer. The drug is frequently employed as a single agent in the platinum-resistant setting, and recently reported data reveal the superiority of the combination of PLD plus carboplatin, compared with the platinum drug plus paclitaxel, in delaying the time to disease progression in women with recurrent (potentially platinum-sensitive) disease. Current research efforts involving PLD in ovarian cancer are focusing on adding novel targeted drugs to this cytotoxic agent. The utility of such approaches in the platinum-resistant population, compared with the sequential administration of single agents active in this setting, remains to be determined.
聚乙二醇脂质体阿霉素(PLD)已成为上皮性卵巢癌常规治疗的重要组成部分。该药常作为单一药物用于铂耐药患者,最近报道的数据显示,PLD 联合卡铂与铂类药物联合紫杉醇相比,可延迟铂敏感复发患者的疾病进展时间。目前针对卵巢癌的 PLD 相关研究主要集中在将新型靶向药物与这种细胞毒性药物联合应用。与该治疗环境中单药序贯治疗相比,这种方法在铂耐药人群中的应用价值仍有待确定。
