Timed sequential chemotherapy following ifosfamide-induced kinetic recruitment in refractory ovarian cancer

A total of 22 relapsed or refractory ovarian cancer patients were treated with ifosfamide-containing polychemotherapy. Kinetic analyses were done to evaluate the tumor-cell-recruiting potential of the alkylating agent. Our study shows that ifosfamide can enhance tumor proliferative activity in pretreated ovarian cancers.
