title: [The toxicity of massive dosis of VM26 (4-demethyl-epipodophyllotoxin-beta-D-thenylidene glucoside). A contribution to the therapy of advanced ovarian cancer (author's transl)].
abstract: 19 patients with advanced ovarian cancer (FIGO-stages IIb-IV) were treated by ultra-high doses of VM26 partly according to positive oncobiograms during Multiple-drug-stoss-therapy. The toxic reactions and the cytostatic effect were investigated. The range of 57,9% remissions and the moderate toxicity suggest a specific application of VM26 in advanced ovarian cancer.
