[Complete remission of recurrent ovarian dysgerminoma obtained by combined chemotherapy with cisplatin, adriamycin and cyclophosphamide].

Abstract

Based on the clinical course of ovarian dysgerminoma with multiple metastatic foci in the lung recurring at 7 years and a half after initial therapy, various problems of diagnosis, treatment, and administration of this tumor were discussed. As to the multiple recurrent foci, complete remission was obtained by 3 courses of combined chemotherapy with cisplatin, adriamycin and cyclophosphamide. Generally speaking, this type of tumor is remarkably sensitive to various kinds of oncostatics, and chemotherapy involving the above chemotherapeutic agents is worth trying in selective cases of advanced or recurrent cases.
