A randomized study comparing cisplatin 120 mg i.v. with cyclophosphamide 2 g i.v., each drug being given every month for 6 mo. followed by a low dose regimen for a further 6 mo. in responding patients was carried out in 86 patients with advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma (FIGO [International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics] stages III and IV). Patients given cisplatin had a longr median survival time than those given cyclophosphamide (19 mo. compared with 2 mo.) and a longer median duration of complete clinical response (18 mo. compared with 8 mo.). The difference in disease-free survival was statistically significant even after factors such as age, stage of disease and the completeness of initial surgery were taken into account. Thus, cisplatin is a more effective chemotherapeutic agent than cyclophosphamide for advanced ovarian cancer and should be the agent of choice in future trials comparing combination chemotherapy with a single agent.
