Article Description

Objectives: To compare the clinical outcomes of intravenous carboplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy plus bevacizumab versus intraperitoneal cisplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy without bevacizumab as the frontline treatment in women with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancer. Methods: Between November 2012 and January 2024, medical records of all consecutive women with stage II~IV cancer treated with either frontline adjuvant intraperitoneal cisplatin/paclitaxel without bevacizumab (IP group), intravenous carboplatin/paclitaxel without bevacizumab (IV group) or intravenous carboplatin/paclitaxel with bevacizumab (IVB group) at a tertiary referral center were reviewed. Results: A total of 143 women (IP group, n = 57; IVB group, n = 23; IV group, n = 63) were reviewed. The IP group had greater progression-free survival compared to the IVB group (49.1 months, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 27.8 months to infinity, versus 11.9 months, 95% CI = 11.2 to 16.2 months; adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 0.45, 95% CI = 0.24 to 0.87, p = 0.017). Additionally, the IP group also had a higher overall survival compared to the IVB group (not reached, 95% CI = 55.6 months to infinity, versus 38.9 months, 95% CI = 21.9 months to infinity; adjusted HR = 0.34, 95% CI = 0.15 to 0.79, p = 0.012). Conclusions: Intraperitoneal cisplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy without bevacizumab seems to offer a survival advantage when compared with intravenous carboplatin/paclitaxel with bevacizumab in the frontline treatment of women with advanced ovarian cancer.
