Despite considerable progress over the past two decades in the management of advanced ovarian cancer, the majority of patients with this type of malignancy still die from their disease, and the search for new and improved first-line and salvage chemotherapy regimens continues. As part of this work, the antitumour activity and effect on survival of new chemotherapy combinations containing the novel taxane docetaxel are being explored. Dual therapy with docetaxel plus a camptothecin (a topoisomerase inhibitor) has shown promise in second-line treatment, and preliminary data indicate good activity of docetaxel in combination with gemcitabine. Triple-therapy studies have produced mixed results, but encouraging activity has been reported when the anthracycline, epirubicin, is added to docetaxel and carboplatin - sequential therapy with docetaxel, cisplatin and epirubicin is currently being assessed. Combinations of docetaxel, carboplatin and gemcitabine may also be of future interest. Early efficacy and tolerability results with novel combination chemotherapy regimens involving docetaxel thus offer the promise of additional progress in the chemotherapy of advanced ovarian cancer, and further trials should be encouraged.
