title: Mitoxantrone (NSC-301739) in patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma. A phase II study of the Gynecologic Oncology Group.
abstract: Twenty-six evaluable patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer were treated with mitoxantrone at a dosage of 12 mg/m2 every three weeks. One patient had a partial response; four, stable disease; the remainder progressed. Mitoxantrone used in this dosage and schedule has minimal activity in patients with previously treated epithelial ovarian cancer.
