Titles & IDs
Public title
Study to determine the possibility of treating women with ovarian and related cancers with chemotherapy, some of which is given directly into the abdomen as well as into the vein. It will also determine how safe it is, what side-effects it causes and how it affects quality of life.
Scientific title
A Single Arm Phase II Trial of Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy with Paclitaxel and Cisplatin after Optimal Debulking Surgery for Ovarian, Peritonuem and Fallopian Tube Cancers assessing the feasibility, toxicity and effects on quality of life of a modified GOG 172 (Gynaecologic Oncology Group) intraperitoneal (IP) regimen.
