ScienceDirect.com - Gynecologic Oncology - Progression-free and overall survival of a modified outpatient regimen of primary intravenous/intraperitoneal paclitaxel and intraperitoneal cisplatin in ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer

Highlights

► GOG 172 showed improved outcomes for optimally debulked ovarian carcinoma patients treated with IV/IP chemotherapy compared to IV chemotherapy.
► The regimen has not been widely accepted due to its inpatient administration, toxicity profile, and limited completion rate.
► A modified GOG 172 treatment regimen improved convenience, toxicity, and tolerability, with outcomes similar to those of GOG 172.
