Cisplatin-paclitaxel-cyclophosphamide with G-CSF in primary advanced epithelial ovarian cancer.

INTRODUCTION
In an attempt to increase survival, we performed a prospective trial of high-dose cisplatin-paclitaxel-cyclophosphamide with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) for three cycles followed by carboplatin-paclitaxel for three cycles after cytoreduction of primary advanced epithelial ovarian cancer.


MATERIALS AND METHODS
Thirty consecutive women with Stage 3 or 4 invasive primary epithelial ovarian cancer were treated with cytoreductive surgery. Postoperatively patients received 100 mg/m(2) of cisplatin, 200 mg/m(2) of paclitaxel, and 500 mg/m(2) of cyclophosphamide IV q 21 days x 3 cycles with 300 microg of G-CSF daily x5 beginning the first day following chemotherapy. This was followed by carboplatin AUC-5 and 135 mg/m(2) of paclitaxel IV q 21 days x3. All administration was outpatient and paclitaxel was administered over 3 h.


RESULTS
Eighty percent of tumors were Stage 3C, 77% were serous, and 60% were Grade 3. Maximum cytoreduction to <2 cm was performed in 96%. Median follow-up is 30 months. Sixty-three percent of patients developed recurrence. Currently 50% of patients are alive with no evidence of disease. Estimated mean survival is 61 months and estimated mean progression-free survival is 29 months. No patient developed thrombocytopenia, neutropenic sepsis, significant neuropathy, or renal toxicity.


CONCLUSION
This treatment regimen resulted in minimal toxicity and, following aggressive cytoreduction, produced good progression-free and overall survival.
