摘要
The incidence of ovarian cancer is > 50% in women aged greater than or equal to 65 years. Histology and stage at diagnosis are both related to age, which appears to be an independent prognostic factor for survival in univariate analysis. Special conditions relating to the treatment of elderly women with ovarian cancer and the drugs active in this disease are discussed. New, less toxic combinations of paclitaxel (Taxol(R), Bristol-Myers Squibb Company) and platinum-derived compounds appear to be promising.
