[Current status and future developments in chemotherapy of advanced epithelial ovarian cancers (author's transl)]
Abstract:
In the management of advanced epithelial cancers of the ovary the importance of prognostically significant factors is well established. The remission rates with the drugs most commonly used are stated. Patients with a complete remission show a marked increase in survival time. The importance of prior chemotherapy in relation to a second or third line of treatment is discussed. Immunological test series in combination with chemotherapy are undergoing controlled investigations.

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...
