title: Retrospective study of the prognostic factors of remission induction for single-agent chemotherapy with cisplatin in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer.
abstract: A retrospective study to explore the prognostic factor was conducted in 39 patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer, FIGO stage III-IV, who underwent single-agent adjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin following primary debulking surgery. The survival rate following the adjuvant chemotherapy was 50.9% after 3 years and 44. 7% after 5 years, with a median survival time of 40.4 months. The actual dose intensity of the cisplatin ranged from 14.38 to 46.30 mg/m2/week, and the total dose/m2 was 143.79 to 645.83 mg/m2. Under these therapeutic conditions, the actual dose intensity was found to correlate with survival time (p<0.05), but there was no correlation between the total dose/m2 and survival time.
