title: [A case of ovarian cancer with Parkinson's disease treated by combined chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin followed by surgery].
abstract: It is well known that neuropathy, myelopathy, and arthropathy are specific adverse effects induced by paclitaxel administration. Parkinson's disease is neural degenerative disease, and the influence of paclitaxel administration on patients with Parkinson's disease is unknown. We have successfully treated an ovarian cancer patient with Parkinson's disease by paclitaxel/CBDCA combined chemotherapy after surgery. The patient was a 57-year-old woman with solid and cystic ovarian tumor. Among the tumor markers CA125, CA19-9, and SLX, only SLX was elevated. We operated and made a pathological diagnosis of the ovarian tumor as clear cell adenocarcinoma (FIGO stage Ic). After surgery, the patient was treated with paclitaxel (260 mg [175 mg/m2]) and CBDCA (600 mg [AUC = 5]) combined chemotherapy for 5 courses. Her status is complete remission. During chemotherapy, she had felt the decreased efficacy of her Parkinson's disease medication. We could continue chemotherapy by increasing the dose of the Parkinson's drug. There is only one case report on the influence of paclitaxel on Parkinson's disease, in which the course was similar to the present case.
