Abstract EN
Recurrent ovarian cancer is a lethal disease, and few patients can be cured.
Although most patients receive standardized surgery and chemotherapy, the status of recurrent disease is heterogeneous.
The site of recurrence and the survival intervals after recurrence are also widely distributed.
Among a number of factors, many clinical trials identified time to recurrence was the factor most related to chemosensitivity at first relapse.
The current recommendation for platinum sensitive ovarian cancer is a carboplatin containing combination chemotherapy.
Generally, a single agent is chosen for platinum resistant ovarian cancer.
Patients with single site recurrence and a long disease free interval are candidates for secondary cytoreduction, which may provide longer survival.
There are several treatment choices at first relapse, and disease status, chemotherapy-free interval, and the patient's condition play a major role in the decision making process.
