Summary

Treatment of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer poses a challenge to oncologists, as this type of cancers is incurable, and no optimal or standard treatment exists. The available cytotoxic drugs show similar progression-free survival and overall survival rates; therefore, oncologists should consider each case individually and assess not only efficacy but also the possible impact on patient’s quality of life and risks of toxicity. This chapter explores the different treatment options for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.
