Intraperitoneal recombinant interferongamma in ovarian cancer patients with residual disease at second look laparotomy

  • Chapter
Ovarian Cancer 3

Abstract

Despite the improved overall response rate of debulking surgery and combination chemotherapy in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer, 60–70% of the patients have persistent disease at second look laparotomy [1,2].
