clinically suspected bulky Stage III ovarian cancer
– Gyn exam and Pap smear 8 months ago were
normal
• A gynecologic oncologist consultant estimates a
50/50 probability of an optimal debulking surgery

Case History: Dr Spriggs (continued)
• Patient treated with a regimen containing IV paclitaxel, IP
cisplatin and IP paclitaxel
• Clinical remission after three cycles of therapy
– Normal CA125
– Negative CT
• Course complicated by nausea and grade 2 painful neuropathy
Treatment options for this patient
1. Single-agent liposomal doxorubicin
2. IV docetaxel / IV carboplatin
3. Single-agent IP carboplatin
4. Continue IV paclitaxel, IP cisplatin and IP paclitaxel
— this is curative intent therapy
5. No further treatment
