Chemotherapeutic management of advanced ovarian cancer
1Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Texas Oncology, PA, Dallas, TX, USA.
Objective:
To review current treatment strategies for patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Factors for treatment selection are discussed.
Data Sources:
Research articles and textbooks.
Conclusion:
Research efforts continue to identify novel agents and/or combination therapies that can effect a cure or prolong survival. Several agents offer similar efficacy outcomes but vary in safety aspects and administration requirements.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
Numerous clinical trials have defined the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy in patients with ovarian cancer. Oncology nurses can prepare patients to make treatment decisions; educate them about treatment-related side effects; and develop an ongoing relationship as patient advocates to ensure quality of life.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
