Poorly Differentiated

We experienced a case of recurrent ovarian cancer that responded to weekly docetaxel. The patient had stage IIIC ovarian cancer (poorly differentiated serous adenocarcinoma). After initial remission was achieved by chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin plus cytoreductive surgery, the disease recurred and irinotecan therapy achieved temporary remission. During maintenance therapy with oral etoposide, the disease recurred again. We then tried five courses of weekly docetaxel therapy and it successfully controlled the disease. The progression-free survival time on weekly docetaxel treatment is now 7 months and the toxicity was extremely low. This patient demonstrates the effectiveness of weekly docetaxel as salvage chemotherapy for recurrent ovarian cancer.

Metastatic Behavior

Sternal and costal metastases from ovarian cancer are extremely rare. We present here a case of a 47-year-old woman with thoracic wall metastasis from serous–papillary ovarian carcinoma that occurred 3 years after the initial diagnosis, although the patient had received various regimens of intense platinum-based chemotherapy. Special emphasis is given to the effects of alkylating agents, such as cisplatin and carboplatin, on the pattern of tumor spread. We also discuss the possible mechanisms through which the biologic and metastatic behavior of this tumor is expressed.
