Abstract

Ovarian cancer is an aggressive and lethal gynaecologic malignant disease with high capacity of relapse even if complete cytoreductive surgery is performed at the moment of the initial diagnosis. Once the relapses occur large studies focused on the subject of the best therapeutic protocol in order to achieve a good control of the disease. This is a literature review of the studies focused on this topic.
