Abstract:
6 months was 42.3 months, longer than 17.5 months for patients with PFI ≤ 6 months, no statistical significance was found ( P =0.1418). Multivariate analysis strongly suggested that PFI and the courses of second line chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors of survival after secondary treatment for epithelial ovarian cancer. For those patients with PFI ≤ 6 months, the smaller the size of residual lesion ( P =0.0003) and the more the cycle of effective second line chemotherapy ( P =0.0004), the longer the survival after the secondary cytoreduction. Conclusions:The results suggested that successful secondary cytoreductive surgery combined with multicycles second line chemotherapy may be an effective way to lengthen the survival on retreatment for patients with platinum resistant and recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer.
