摘要
Elderly patients with ovarian cancer are an increasing population and many of them are frailty with an increased risk of postoperative complications, chemotherapy intolerance and mortality. Metronomic chemotherapy is the chronic administration of low, equally spaced, doses of antineoplastic drugs with therapeutic efficacy and low toxicity. Oral metronomic cyclophosphamide has gained increasing interest in recent years in the treatment of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer. We report the case of a 87-year-old and frailty woman with advanced ovarian cancer, not eligible for surgery or standard first-line intravenous chemotherapy. The patient has received oral metronomic cyclophosphamide with a long-lasting clinical response and improved performance status. Oral metronomic cyclophosphamide is a promising treatment for elderly and frailty advanced ovarian cancer patients and should be further investigated. Copyright (C) 2019 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
