Another Confirmation of the Inactivity of Topotecan in Ovarian Cancer.
- Authors
McGuire, William P.
- Abstract
The author ponders on the findings of a study on the effect of the addition of topotecan to a platinum and taxane regimen on patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma, published within the issue. The study showed that topotecan addition to a platinum and taxane backbone do not improve outcomes in cancer patients. The author notes the incorporation of bevacizumab into primary therapy of platinum and taxane for advanced ovarian carcinoma. He also reflects on other studies on the treatment of advanced ovarian carcinoma.
