Cis-platinを主体とした化学療法が著効を呈した卵巣癌の1例

Brain Metastasis of Ovarian Cancer Treated by Chemotherapy Including Cis-platin: A case report

I．はじめに

　これまで転移性脳腫瘍の治療には専ら手術，放射線療法が用いられ化学療法は補助的な治療に留まることが多かった．

　今回われわれはCis-platinを含む化学療法のみでCT上完全寛解を見た卵巣癌の脳転移例を経験したのでここに若干の考察を加えて報告する．

A 57-year-old woman was admitted to our depart-ment with headache and dizziness. About 8 months ago, she suffered from ovarian cancer disseminated in pleura and peritoneum, and was treated successfully with CAP therapy only (Cis-platin, Adriamycin and Cyclophosphamide).

Intracerebellar metastasis of ovarian cancer was sus-pected on CT scan, and CAP therapy was employed again. She was relieved from all symptoms a week af-ter starting the therapy. Follow up CT scan showed complete remission of the lesion.
