title: [Advanced cancer of the ovary. Treatment and results].
abstract: The management of advanced ovarian carcinoma (stages IIb, III, IV) is presented together with the results of treating a series of 65 patients at Gustave-Roussy Institute. The response rate was 43 p. cent with 16 complete remissions and 12 partial remissions out of 65 patients. Fourth year survival without recurrences was 12/65; 9/16 after complete remission at 2nd look, and 3/12 after partial remission. Treatment was by surgery--chemotherapy--2nd look surgery; radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy are decided on after 2nd look surgery. Each treatment should be agressive, prolonged, and multi-disciplinary.
