[Clinical Application of Gemcitabine plus Cisplatin plus Bevacizumab Combination Chemotherapy for Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma].

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma(OCCC)shows a poor response to standard chemotherapy, and it is often difficult to choose a regimen for patients with recurrent OCCC. Several reports have suggested a synergistic effect between gemcitabine and cisplatin; another report suggested that gemcitabine, platinum, and bevacizumab are efficacious against recurrent ovarian cancer. We treated patients with OCCC using a combination chemotherapy regimen consisting of gemcitabine(1,000 mg/ m2)and cisplatin(40 mg/m2)on days 1 and 15, and bevacizumab(15 mg/kg)on day 1, with the cycle repeated every 4 weeks. Six patients received this therapy after informed consent, and 2 evaluable patients showed a partial response. Adverse events were mild, with Grade 3 anemia, leukopenia, and neutropenia occurring in 67%, 33%, and 17% of cases, respectively. No Grade 4 events were observed, including hematological or non-hematological toxicities. This suggests that a regimen of combined gemcitabine, platinum, and bevacizumab can be efficacious and feasible for the treatment of OCCC.
