title: Mesna, doxorubicin, ifosfamide, and dacarbazine chemotherapy for ovarian mixed müllerian sarcoma: report of four cases.
abstract: Four patients with metastatic ovarian mixed Müllerian sarcoma (2 homologous, 2 heterologous) were treated with mesna, doxorubicin, ifosfamide, and dacarbazine (MAID) chemotherapy. Two of four patients had optimal debulking. Three of four patients responded to chemotherapy, with two complete responses of 34- and 46-month duration. The MAID regimen appears to be active in patients with ovarian sarcoma.
