Phase 2 Trial of Docetaxel, Gemcitabine, and Oxaliplatin Combination Chemotherapy in Platinum- and Paclitaxel-Pretreated Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
2009
Background: This phase 2 trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of a combination of docetaxel, gemcitabine, and oxaliplatin for platinum- and paclitaxel-pretreated epithelial ovarian cancer. Patients and Methods: Heavily pretreated patients (N = 30; median age, 61 years) received docetaxel, 55 mg/m2; gemcitabine, 500 mg/m2 (day 1); and oxaliplatin, 70 mg/m2 (day 2) biweekly. Twelve patients had platinum-sensitive disease, and 18 patients had platinum-resistant disease. Results: Median follow-up was 18.6 months. No differences in patient characteristics were observed between patients with carboplatinum-sensitive and carboplatinum-resistant disease. In patients with carbopla…
Phase II trial of docetaxel and carboplatin in recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian, peritoneal and tubal cancer
2007
Abstract Objective. Docetaxel and carboplatin are active in relapsed ovarian, peritoneal and tubal cancer. Recently, two prospective-randomized trials showed an advantage of carboplatin combination regimen with paclitaxel or gemcitabine over carboplatinum alone in platinum-sensitive cases. The question on the most effective combination with the best tolerable side effects still needs to be answered. Methods. Eligible patients had recurrent ovarian, peritoneal or tubal cancer (platinum-free interval >6 months), performance status 0–2 and normal bone marrow, renal and hepatic function. 25 patients (age 18–75 years) were enrolled into this phase II trial. Patients with debulking operation of r…
Successful in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer after limited surgical treatment for tubal adenocarcinoma.
1989
A 29-year-old woman with tubal adenocarcinoma stage IA was treated only with bilateral salpingectomy, pelvic lymphadenectomy, and omentectomy. Two years later the patient successfully underwent in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, and at 39 weeks gave birth to a healthy son by cesarean section. The result of oncologic follow-up 3 years after surgery is negative.
