Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyAn economic analysis of dose dense weekly paclitaxel plus carboplatin versus every-3-week paclitaxel plus carboplatin in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer.
Compared with every-3-week paclitaxel (q3T) plus carboplatin, dose-dense weekly paclitaxel (ddT) plus carboplatin improved the survival of ovarian cancer patients. We performed a cost analysis comparing these two regimens. ⋯ In this economic model, dose-dense weekly paclitaxel is a cost-effective treatment option for advanced ovarian cancer.
