title: Clinical trial of etoposide and cisplatin as salvage therapy in advanced ovarian carcinoma.
abstract: The combination of etoposide and cis-platinum was evaluated in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer. Of 13 treated patients, 4 demonstrated complete clinical responses and 3 demonstrated partial clinical responses. The mean progression free interval was 14 months+ for the complete responders and 8.3+ months for the partial responders. The 100 mg/m2 dose of etoposide appears to be critical in attaining response. This etoposide and cisplatinum combination appears to be effective as a salvage regimen in ovarian carcinoma.
