Patients (98) with advanced ovarian cancer took part in a prospective, randomized trial comparing low-dose cisplatin and chlorambucil with low-dose cisplatin, chlorambucil and doxorubicin. After 4 yr, response rates (> 50%) and proportion of complete remissions (28%) were similar in both groups. Median duration of remission was longest in the complete remitters: 31 mo. in those having cisplatin and chlorambucil and 24 mo. in those having doxorubicin as well.
