Official Title: Consolidation Intensity-Modulated Whole Abdominal Radiotherapy for High-Risk Patients With Ovarian Cancer Stage FIGO III
Study ID: NCT01180504
Brief Summary: The primary objective of this phase-II study is to assess the toxicity of consolidation intensity-modulated whole-abdominal radiotherapy using tomotherapy in patients with advanced optimally debulked stage International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) III ovarian cancer with a complete remission after adjuvant chemotherapy. 36 patients will be treated to a total dose of 30 Gy in 1.5 Gy fractions.
