METHODS
The review of literature on treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer. Current data on chemotherapy, surgery and targeted biological therapy in recurrent ovarian cancer.


CONCLUSIONS
Chemotherapy is indicated in most cases of recurrent ovarian cancer, surgery does not play an important role. Standard treatment of platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer is based on platinum combination chemotherapy. Standard treatment of platinum-refractory ovarian cancer represents non-platinum monotherapy. Targeted biological therapy should be still used only in the studies.
