Effect of increased number of neoadjuvant chemotherapy cycles on tumor resectability and pathologic response in advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer.

CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggests that giving more than 3 cycles of NACT is unnecessary because increased number of cycles did not change the resectability and complete pathologic response, while it increased platinum resistance. Moreover OS and PFS remained similar. PMID: 30722119 [PubMed - in process]
