title: [Intraperitoneal cisplatin chemotherapy for ovarian cancer].
abstract: It is well known that the 5-year survival rate of advanced ovarian cancer patients greatly improved after the appearance of cisplatin. Recently, paclitaxel has been reported to be effective in the treatment of cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer. However, control of intraperitoneal lesions is still the biggest problem in this treatment, and attention is focused on the development of effective approaches. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy is considered to be a mode of administration expected to have a direct effect on ovarian cancer by penetrating the tumor and an indirect effect via blood vessels. We examined the outcome and adverse drug reactions in 102 ovarian cancer patients who underwent repeated intraperitoneal administration of cisplatin in our hospital between April 1987 and April 1999. We confirmed that this method may greatly improve the five-year survival rate compared to intravenous administration.
