[Combination chemotherapy with cisplatin and etoposide for cerebellar metastasis from ovarian adenocarcinoma]

A 54-year-old woman with cerebellar metastasis from ovarian adenocarcinoma was reported. Two years before admission, she underwent 7 courses of CAP therapy (cisplatin, adriamycin, cyclophosphamide) for ovarian cancer. On admission, no extracranial tumor was noticed. After the removal of a cerebellar tumor, she was treated by combination chemotherapy with cisplatin and etoposide. Her serum level of CA-125, which was still high after surgery, decreased to the normal level following chemotherapy. Chemotherapy was repeated six times, and no recurrence was noticed 1 year after surgery. Combination chemotherapy with cisplatin and etoposide was considered effective in the treatment of intracranial metastasis from ovarian cancer.
