Intraperitoneal cisplatin and paclitaxel in ovarian cancer
Article Abstract:
A randomized, phase 3 trail that compared intravenous paclitaxel in patients with intravenous paclitaxel plus intraperitoneal cisplatin and paclitaxel in patients with stage III ovarian cancer is presented. As compared with intravenous paclitaxel plus cisplatin, intravenous pacitaxel plus intraperitoneal cisplatin and paclitaxel improves survival in patients with optimally debulked stage III ovarian cancer.

Interferon-gamma expression is an independent prognostic factor in ovarian cancer
Article Abstract:
A study speculates that Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) expression in ovarian cancer-infiltrating T-lymphocytes might affect tumor biology by directly inhibiting growth as well as by stimulating immune competent cells. It is concluded that elevated IFN-gamma expression correlates with improved clinical outcome in patients with ovarian cancer.
