Abstract:
(1) Most cases of ovarian cancer are diagnosed at an advanced stage (peritoneal extension beyond the pelvis or distant metastases). (2) The standard treatment is surgery followed by chemotherapy with paclitaxel + platinum salt. Data favouring carboplatin over cisplatin in this setting are of poor quality. (3) There is no standard second-line chemotherapy regimen.
