OBJECTIVES: From a theoretical viewpoint, intraperitoneal therapy in patients with ovarian cancer, a malignancy, which remains mainly confined to the peritoneal cavity is logical. Intraperitoneal catheters have moved to the forefront as a delivery system in cancer treatment. DESIGN: The authors sought to evaluate effects of intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPC) as a second line therapy for ovarian cancer patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: From January 1996 to January 2002, 92 patients with recurrent or persistent cancer, after surgery, and first line chemotherapy, were treated with intraperitoneal chemotherapy as a second-line treatment. Only 74 were included in the study, due to incomplete of therapy (6 patients), spontaneous fold-out of catheter (3 patients), five patients were treated because of some other kind of carcinomas, three patients passed away during therapy because of independent reasons, and weren't be verified and a patient who had wrong pathological diagnosis in SLL. RESULTS: The three year survival in the whole group reached 58.62% for patients who responded to the first line chemotherapy, or when the debulking surgery was completed, which was a significant improvement in survival. There was a significant improvement in survival for patients with residual tumor < 5 mm compared with the whole group, and especially with these, whose residual tumors were greater then 5 mm. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Survival was increased for patients who had a positive response to the first line intravenous chemotherapy, or had complete a debulking surgery 2. The response for IPC depends on the size of residual disease. 3. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy improves survival in ovarian cancer.  相似文献

Recent concepts and technical development have led to the successful application of the principles of intraperitoneal chemotherapy in the management of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. In a pilot study we treated five patients with Stage III ovarian cancer after maximal cytoreductive effort (residual tumor less than or equal to 2 cm) with combination chemotherapy consisting of intraperitoneal doxorubicin and intravenous cisplatinum and cyclophosphamide. Although intraperitoneal doxorubicin demonstrates a pharmacologic advantage over the intravenous administration of this drug, its use is limited by severe abdominal pain requiring narcotic analgesics. Chemical peritonitis and extensive peritoneal adhesions are frequent complications. The role of combination intraperitoneal and systemic chemotherapy in ovarian cancer warrants further study.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have established that intraperitoneal chemotherapy is associated with improved outcomes compared with intravenous treatment in patients with advanced, optimally cytoreduced ovarian cancer, but at the expense of increased toxicity. We present a case of vaginal evisceration during intraperitoneal chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer. CASE: Following an optimal cytoreduction including total hysterectomy for advanced ovarian cancer, a 63-year-old woman underwent intraperitoneal chemotherapy. On pelvic examination prior to her second cycle of chemotherapy, she was found to have vaginal evisceration of small bowel. CONCLUSION: Intraperitoneal chemotherapy imparts an improved survival, but at the expense of increased toxicity. It is possible that the increased abdominal pressure during intraperitoneal chemotherapy contributes to the risk for vaginal evisceration. In patients planning on undergoing intraperitoneal chemotherapy, supracervical hysterectomy should be considered in appropriate candidates.  相似文献

From July 1986 to June 1989, 43 evaluable patients with advanced ovarian cancer were treated on protocol with initial cytoreductive surgery, two courses of high-intensity intravenous Cytoxan (1000 mg/m2) and cisplatin (120-200 mg/m2) chemotherapy, and repeat debulking laparotomy in an effort to maximize response to a subsequent four cycles of intraperitoneal platinum-based chemotherapy. Two patients were stage IIIA, 2 stage IIIB, 28 stage IIIC, and 11 stage IV. Five tumors were grade 1, 9 grade 2, and 29 grade 3. Thirty-eight (88%) patients had bulky tumor (5-25 cm) found at first laparotomy; 25 of these had greater than 1-cm residual after initial debulking. Following two cycles of intensive intravenous chemotherapy 18 of these 25 had greater than 1-cm disease found at second laparotomy; 12 of 18 underwent secondary cytoreduction to less than 1 cm. Thus, 30 of these 38 (79%) patients entered the intraperitoneal phase of the protocol with less than 1-cm disease. Four patients had 2- to 5-cm tumor at initial laparotomy; two of four were debulked to less than 1-cm residual. All four were found to have less than 1-cm disease at second laparotomy. This combination regimen was well tolerated. There was one treatment-related death. In sum, 42 of 43 patients had tumor greater than 2 cm at staging laparotomy and 38 (88%) had large, bulky disease (5-25 cm); 34 of 43 (79%) entered the intraperitoneal phase of the protocol with optimal (less than 1-cm) disease. Aggressive chemosurgical cytoreduction in patients with bulky advanced ovarian cancer can leave a large proportion of patients with minimal residual disease and maximize their chances of responding to subsequent intraperitoneal chemotherapy.  相似文献

DESIGN: The authors sought to evaluate risk factors of patients with ovarian cancer treated with intraperitoneal cisplatin based chemotherapy (IPC). MATERIAL AND METHODS: From January 1996 to December 1998, 24 patients with recurrent or persistent ovarian cancer were treated. We divide them in two groups first beneath 65 year old (19 patients), second above 65 year (5 patients), and in three groups with residual microscopic diseases, residual below 0.5 cm, and between 0.5 and 2 cm in the time of the beginning of treatment with IPC. We also estimate stage (FIGO) as a risk factor. RESULTS: In the first group the study showed (CRP) among 9 patients (SD) among 2 patients PD in among patients. In the second group CRP were observed among 2 patients PD among 2 patients, and SD 1 patient. CONCLUSION: IPC is the valuable method of second line chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. Age is not a risk factor in IPC. IPC prolongs survival in ovarian cancer patients, progression free survival, and gives only slightly adverse effects.  相似文献

Abstract. Epenetos AA, Hird V, Lambert H, Mason P, Coulter C. Long term survival of patients with advanced ovarian cancer treated with intraperitoneal radioimmunotherapy.
Purpose: To determine the long term survival of patients with advanced ovarian cancer treated with radioimmunotherapy following cytoreductive surgery and platinum based chemotherapy.
Patients and Methods: Eligibility criteria included patients with histological evidence of ovarian cancer stages IC-IV following completion of conventional platinum containing chemotherapy. Of 52 patients entered into the study, 31 had residual disease following standard chemotherapy and 21 patients had achieved complete remission. Treatment consisted of one intraperitoneal administration of 25 mg of monoclonal antibody HMFG1 labelled with 18 mCi/m2 of 90Y. Survival was the primary end-point.
Results: In the group of 21 patients who had achieved complete remission following surgery, conventional chemotherapy and intraperitoneal radioimmunotherapy, the median survival has not been reached with a maximum follow-up of 12 years. Survival at greater than 10 years is 78%.
Conclusion: This study suggests that a substantial proportion of patients who achieve complete remission with conventional therapy can achieve a long-term survival benefit when treated with intraperitoneal radioimmunotherapy using HMFG1 labelled with 90Y.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The purpose was to examine the outcomes of patients with advanced ovarian cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, with a special emphasis on the patients' quality of life (QOL). METHODS: Seventeen patients with advanced ovarian cancer were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy based on the extent of disease on computer tomography. All patients received combined platinum/paclitaxel chemotherapy. Debulking surgery was performed after three cycles or six cycles of chemotherapy, depending on the response to the chemotherapy. Patients' QOL was studied over time using European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 and was then compared with that of patients treated with conventional treatment in the previous cohort. RESULTS: The response rate to chemotherapy assessed at three cycles was 82.4%. The rate of optimum debulking to residual disease less than 2 cm after chemotherapy was 76.9%, and 38.5% had no gross residual disease after surgery. The median overall survival was 22.9 months. The median disease-free interval was 13.3 months. The overall QOL improved after chemotherapy and this continued to improve up to 12 months. The other functional scales also showed improvements over time, apart from the initial transient deterioration in the role functioning and cognitive functioning at 3 months after chemotherapy. Patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy seem to have better but statistically insignificant difference in QOL parameters than patients treated conventionally. CONCLUSION: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is an alternative treatment for patients with advanced ovarian cancer in whom the chance of optimal cytoreduction is low. The patients' overall quality of life and functional status improve after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.  相似文献

Ten women with primary ovarian carcinoma in clinical progression grade III degree according to FIGO received intraperitoneal chemotherapy. They all had surgical treatment and 9 of them received after operation intravenous cytostatics PAC or PC. Cisplatin 100-220 mg/m2 was given intraperitoneally through a Tenckhoff catheter for long-term dialysis. Before beginning of intraperitoneal chemotherapy in 6 cases the malignant lesions were under 2 cm in diameter, and in 4 cases the size of these lesions was exceeding 2 cm with far advanced disease. In patients with malignant lesions under 2 cm CR was obtained in 4 cases, SD in 1 case and PR in 1 case. In the group with malignant lesions exceeding 2 cm the results of intraperitoneal treatment were: SD in 2 cases and PD in 2 cases. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy is an effective method in ovarian carcinoma when intravenous chemotherapy is ineffective. This is another method which provides a chance of prolongation of the life of the patients.  相似文献

Postoperative intravenous (IV) chemotherapy for advanced stage ovarian cancer has been the standard treatment . Recent studies have found significant survival advantages with the use of adjuvant intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy. Combination IV/IP chemotherapy may be an option for well counseled, carefully selected patients with optimally debulked stage III ovarian cancer. However, IV/IP treatment also has increased rates of pain, fatigue, and hematologic, gastrointestinal , metabolic, and neurologic toxicities. Given the balance of efficacy, quality of life, and toxicity, the decision to use IP chemotherapy must be individualized.  相似文献

Intraperitoneal chemotherapy has a strong biological and pharmacological rationale in the treatment of ovarian cancer. From 1989 to 1996 the present study included 113 patients with FIGO stage II-IV ovarian cancer with residual disease less than 2 cm who were randomly allocated to receive 50 mg/m(2) intraperitoneal cisplatin (CDDP) plus 60 mg/m(2) intravenous epidoxorubicin (EPIDOX) and 600 mg/m(2) intravenous cyclophosphamide (CTX) (ipPEC arm) or 50 mg/m(2) intravenous CDDP plus 60 mg/m(2) intravenous EPIDOX and 600 mg/m(2) intravenous CTX (ivPEC arm). Chemotherapy was repeated every 4 weeks for six cycles. Treatment protocol was changed in 22 patients, 2 from the iv arm (who received single-agent carboplatin) and 20 from the ip arm (who were crossed to systemic chemotherapy, ivPEC, or single-agent carboplatin). At the end of chemotherapy, a second-look was performed in 33 of the 54 patients from the ip arm and in 34 of the 57 patients from the systemic arm. The pathologic complete response rate was 41% of all entered patients and 69% of patients submitted to second-look. No significant difference in pathologic response rate as well as in hematologic and nonhematologic toxicities was seen between the two arms. Up to September 1998, 72 patients showed a disease recurrence (33 treated with ipPEC and 39 treated with ivPEC), 55 died (22 ipPEC and 30 ivPEC), and 10 were lost to follow-up (6 ipPEC and 4 ivPEC). Median progression-free survival was 42 and 25 months for ipPEC and ivPEC, respectively (p = 0.13). Median overall survival was 67 and 51 months for ipPEC and ivPEC, respectively (p = 0.14). In conclusion, besides confirming that intraperitoneal chemotherapy is feasible with acceptable toxicity but with poor compliance in community hospitals, this trial showed that intraperitoneal CDDP compared with intravenous CDDP in combination with EPIDOX and CTX obtained a slight (not significant) improvement in progression-free survival and overall survival of optimally cytoreduced advanced ovarian cancer patients.  相似文献

Abstract. Kayikçiōlu F, Köse MF, Boran N, Çalişkan E, Tulunay G. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy or primary surgery in advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma.
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has been proposed as an alternative approach to conventional surgery as initial management of bulky ovarian cancer, with the goal of performing adequate debulking in the interval surgery. Two hundred five consecutive patients with advanced ovarian cancer were divided into two groups. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval surgery was performed in 45 of 205 patients. The remaining 158 patients received primary surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy. Optimal cytoreductive surgery rates were significantly higher in the neoadjuvant CT group ( P< 0.001). In multivariate analysis, only residual tumor diameter and appendix involvement were found to affect total survival significantly in both groups. Five-year survival and median survival were not statistically different when all patients treated conventionally were compared with all patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Primary chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery in a selected group of patients does not appear to worsen prognosis, but it permits less aggressive surgery and improves patients' quality of life.  相似文献

Diagnosis and management of epithelial ovarian cancer   总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8  
Epithelial ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic cancer in the United States. Although there has been a statistically significant improvement in 5-year survival, in 2005 more than 16,000 women were expected to die of this disease. To date, there is no reliable method to screen for ovarian cancer; therefore, the majority of cases are diagnosed with advanced disease. For early ovarian cancer, appropriate surgical staging and adjuvant chemotherapy for selected cases will result in survival rates of 90-95%. For advanced ovarian cancer, survival depends primarily on the success of the initial surgical procedure. Patients with complete cytoreduction to microscopic disease are often cured with adjuvant chemotherapy. There is growing evidence that these patients with microscopic residual disease are excellent candidates for intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and this mode of chemotherapy delivery may be their best opportunity for cure. Patients with optimal cytoreduction also may benefit from intraperitoneal chemotherapy, but cure is less likely. For patients with suboptimal cytoreduction, intravenous chemotherapy with a combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel is the current standard therapy. Most of these patients will experience recurrence of the cancer, with small chance of cure. Salvage chemotherapy is important in ovarian cancer because many patients respond to several salvage regimens. Because of the high response rate of ovarian cancer, even after relapse, it is probably better to consider 10-year survival as the ideal end point. Finally, new biologic agents, in combination with traditional surgery and chemotherapy, may result in further improvement in survival for patients with ovarian cancer.  相似文献

Despite high primary response rates with cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy, the overall survival rate for advanced ovarian cancers remains dismal. We designed a new systematic treatment approach with a combination chemotherapy consisting of cisplatin, doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (cyclic PAC chemotherapy), with the aim of improving survival rates with minimal disturbance of quality of life. Cyclic PAC chemotherapy is a three-step chemotherapy with three courses of the PAC regimen in each step. A total of nine courses with a 3-month drug-free period between each step were administered over a 15-month period to patients with clinical stage IC-IV ovarian cancer who had undergone cytoreductive surgery. Forty-eight patients with stage IC-IV disease (34 patients with stage III and IV disease) were treated with cyclic PAC chemotherapy. Thirty-four patients with stage IC-IV disease (23 patients with stage III and IV disease) were treated by a brief course of PAC chemotherapy. Long-term survival and toxicity were evaluated for both treatment groups. Cyclic PAC chemotherapy improved the overall outcome of patients (66.6% 3-year and 56.5% 5-year survival rates) compared to brief PAC (41.2% 3-year and 23.5% 5-year survival rates) ( P < 0.01). The outcome of patients with stage III-IV ovarian cancer of the cyclic PAC group (52.6% 3-year and 37.2% 5-year survival rates) was also superior to that of the brief PAC group (21.7% 3-year and 8.7% 5-year survival rates). Generally, the treatment was well tolerated. The toxicity was similar in both groups, although myelosuppresion and neurotoxicity were rather prominent in the cyclic PAC group. Cyclic PAC chemotherapy may lead to improved survival in advanced ovarian cancer, and merits further investigation in a randomized study.  相似文献
