摘要
The majority of patients with ovarian cancer will relapse after initial chemotherapy and will be candidates for salvage treatment. Currently, five agents show clear activity in patients with platinum- and paclitaxel-resistant disease: topotecan, oral etoposide, liposomal doxorubicin, gemcitabine, and, possibly, docetaxel. In addition, other agents have activity in platinum-resistant patients: vinorelbine, tamoxifen, ifosfamide, altretamine, 5-fluorouracil with leucovorin, and, possibly, irinotecan. Furthermore, selected patients may benefit from other therapeutic approaches such as surgery or radiation therapy.
