N2 - Cyclophosphamide, Adriamycin, and cisplatin were given as the initial postoperative treatment to 35 patients with Stages II through IV ovarian cancer of epithelial origin during two time periods. During the first period the dose of cisplatin was 60 mg/m2 and during the second period it was 120 mg/m2, while the dose of cyclophosphamide and Adriamycin remained unchanged. No differences with regard to survival, progression-free interval, rate, and outcome of second-look laparotomy between 18 consecutive patients who received the low-dose and 17 consecutive patients who received the high-dose cisplatin were observed. The complication rate was significantly higher in the high-dose treatment group. Low-dose cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy seems therefore to be the preferable initial postoperative treatment.
