Conclusion
Significant advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis and management of both newly diagnosed and recurrent ovarian cancer have occurred over the past few years, making the possibility of better outcomes for women with advanced ovarian cancer a reality. Recent studies have raised the question of the ideal timing of cytoreductive surgery for newly diagnosed disease and demonstrated benefit with alternative weekly paclitaxel dosing, while ongoing studies continue to clarify the roles of IP chemotherapy and biological agents in this setting. In the setting of recurrence, new chemotherapy combinations are being explored, and investigation of the activity of various targeted agents, including anti-angiogenic agents, PARP-inhibitors, and PI3K/AKT pathway inhibitors, remains an area of active interest.
