Optimal therapy of advanced ovarian cancer: carboplatin and paclitaxel versus cisplatin and paclitaxel (GOG158) and an update on GOG0182‐ICON5

Mature results from GOG158 have clearly established carboplatin and paclitaxel as an effective and well-tolerated standard regimen, providing a basis for the reference arm in GOG0182-ICON5, an ongoing multiarmed phase III trial of the Gynecologic Cancer InterGroup (GCIG) evaluating the incorporation of newer cytotoxic agents. Results from GOG158 will be reviewed, including an analysis of second-look surgical outcomes, followed by an update on the current status of GOG0182-ICON5.
