[Early diagnosis and effective treatment of ovarian cancer]

Determinations of pregnancy-associated alpha-glycoprotein and immunosuppressive acidic protein in sera of patients have improved a detection rate of ovarian cancer in the early stage. In the clinical treatment of ovarian cancer, we employed the regimen based on results of experimental chemotherapy using heterotransplanted human tumors of the ovary. A regimen of cis-platinum, adriamycin and 5-fluorouracil combination in epithelial tumors and a regimen of cis-platinum, vinblastine and bleomycin combination in germ cell tumors may be recommended for treatment of ovarian cancer.
