Combination of two drugs (carboplatin/decitabine) 'can treat ovarian cancer' | International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics



Decitabine (duh-sye-tuh-bean)

Trade/other name(s): Dacogen


"...Experts from Indiana University (IU) noted that carboplatin and decitabine, when combined, has a positive effect on the majority of late-stage ovarian cancer patients, even if they had previously developed a resistance to carbolplatin....Further studies will now be conducted to determine whether the drug combination can be rolled out on a wide scale."
