  • Title: Treatment of malignant germ cell tumors of the ovary with cisplatin, vinblastine, and bleomycin (PVB).
    Author: Vriesendorp R, Aalders JG, Sleijfer DT, Willemse PH, Bouma J, Mulder NH.
    Journal: Cancer Treat Rep; 1984 May; 68(5):779-81. PubMed ID: 6202407.
    Abstract:
    Seven patients with germ cell tumors of the ovary were treated with four cycles of cisplatin, vinblastine, and bleomycin. Six patients were without evidence of disease 17+ to 37+ months after completion of the remission-induction chemotherapy, and one patient relapsed after 9 months. Substantial toxicity of the cisplatin, vinblastine, and bleomycin regimen was noted. Despite the high response rate suggested in this small series, the optimal chemotherapeutic treatment for this disease has yet to be determined.
