A 53-year-old female in PS grade 4 was admitted to our hospital in April, 1992, with dyspnea and abdominal distention persisting for 1 month. An abdominal echogram suggested a malignant lesion of the left ovary with ascites and a chest radiogram showed massive effusion in the right pleural cavity. Cytology of the effusions confirmed adenocarcinoma. Supposing that both the ascites and the pleural effusion were due to metastases from the primary ovarian carcinoma, we soon carried out systemic cancer chemotherapy and bio-adhesio-chemo (BAC) therapy) in the right pleural space. In July, the patient underwent left oophorectomy. The tumor removed measured 23 x 18 x 11cm. Histology revealed an endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the left ovary. We placed small pieces of fibrin clots encapsulating CDDP in the abdominal cavity of the patient to prevent the recurrence of cancer. Postoperatively, the patient markedly improved to grade 0 in PS and could be discharged 2 months later. She has been receiving systemic cancer chemotherapy with periodical checkups. No evidence of either recurrence or metastasis has been observed. We obtained favorable results with our own types of therapy against advanced ovarian carcinoma.
