Chemotherapy of ovarian cancer.

Chemotherapy using a modified Cooper's regimen was applied during the past few years on 41 cases of advanced cancer of the ovary. We believe this scheme has not been attempted elsewhere. Twenty-five cases (60%) responded positively to this regimen. Two patients with generalized ovarian cancer may be cured. The combination of palliative surgery and polychemotherapy in cancer of the ovary may prove to be one of the most effective multidisciplinary approaches to generalized cancer.
