Summary On the basis of the results of earlier studies, 30 departments of gynecology have been cooperating nationwide in Austria since 1980 to promote the use of adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery for cure of ovarian carcinoma in early stages and the role of lymph node dissection and of second-look operation. Results recorded in more than 160 patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy after so-called radical surgery performed in disease stages I and II demonstrate that only highly differentiated tumours in stage Ia can be cured by surgery only with no further adjuvant treatment. This underlines the necessity for staging. More than 200 patients with TNM stages III and IV were randomized after debulking surgery to receive treatment with different kinds of drug combinations to compare the therapeutic efficacy of a sequential alternating drug regimen consisting of Adriamycin-cisplatin+vincristine-cyclophosphamide+high-dose methotrexate with that of the combination of Adriamycin-cyclophosphamide and that of Adriamycin-cisplatin. High-dosed ifosfamide was also used in pilot studies.
