Whole Body Hyperthermia and Intraperitoneal Carboplatin in Residual Ovarian Cancer

  • Chapter
Consensus on Hyperthermia for the 1990s

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 267))

Abstract

Intraperitoneal (IP) cisplatin-based chemotherapy provides prolonged disease-free survival in some women with residual peritoneal ovarian cancer following systemic chemotherapy. This review presents several considerations which support the combined use of IP carboplatin and whole body hyperthermia in this patient population. This novel treatment approach is predicated on projected advantages which relate to improved therapeutic index.
