Detailed Description

Randomized clinical trial performed in woman with epithelial primary ovarian cancer (stage FIGO II, III and IV) or tumor recurrence. A cytoreductive surgery will be perform in all of the patients include in the trial, and it will be assign at randomization:

  • HIPEC-arm: cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy with paclitaxel (175 mg / m2) for 60 minutes at a temperature of 42-43º degrees; followed by postoperative systemic IV chemotherapy with carboplatin (AUC=6) and paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) for 6 cycles.
  • No HIPEC-arm: Cytoreductive surgery followed by postoperative systemic IV chemotherapy with carboplatin (AUC=6) and paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) for 6 cycles.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Women with histologically confirmed epithelial ovarian cancer (stage II / III / IV disease of FIGO) or tumor recurrences (the women of childbearing age need to have a negative pregnancy test)
  • Complete cytoreduction: Index CC0/CC1 cytoreduction (residual tumor size after surgery, no visible (CC0) or less than 0.25 cm (CC1))
  • No extra-abdominal tumor disease
  • Absence of heart failure. Adequate renal and hepatic functions
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0-2 or Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70%

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with unresectable tumor or incomplete cytoreduction.
  • Contraindications for treatment with paclitaxel: patients with severe hypersensitivity to paclitaxel or any of the excipients,pregnancy or lactation and patients with baseline neutrophil count <1.500/mm3 (<1.000/mm3 for patients with Kaposi sarcoma). Paclitaxel is also contraindicated in patients who have concurrent and severe infections.
  • Extra-abdominal metastases or unresectable liver metastases
  • Presence of other malignant tumor disease.
  • Multisegmental complete bowel obstruction.
  • Patients with severe medical problems that will preclude compliance with the study or with an unacceptable risk
  • Patients who refuse treatment or consent to participate in study
