[Effectiveness of adjuvant chemotherapy in ovarian carcinoma]

A report is given about the efficiency of the so called adjuvant chemotherapy in 26 cases (26 patients suffering from ovarian cancer in the stage T1M0N0) in a time of 10 years (1968-1977).--After the primary operation-therapy, a part of the patients (9) got the cytostatic drugs Trenimon or Cyclophosphamid. The patients of the control group got nothing. The survival times of both groups showed no significant distinctions. -- The results show that the adjuvant chemotherapy in cases of ovarian cancers in stage T1M0N0 can not be recommended because there are too many side effects of the these cytostatic drugs.
