Abstract

Ovarian cancer is the second most common malignancy in women worldwide, causing many deaths each year. Chemotherapy is one of the most important therapeutic strategies that can increase the survival of these patients; however, one of the problems in chemotherapy is resistance against platinum treatment. Evaluating the effect of platinum- and non-platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer can enhance our view on this issue. The present review article sought to identify the treating efficacy of platinum and non-platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer by searching scientific databases and examining the aspects of platinum resistance in various articles. Oncological results have shown that ovarian cancer is a deadly disease, and most cases are diagnosed when the cancer spreads outside the ovary and often throughout the entire abdomen. On the other hand, in many cases, disease recurrence is associated with drug resistance. The use of a platinum-free interval has played an important role in its treatment efficacy. Understanding the cause of platinum resistance and discovering strategies to reduce drug resistance, especially to new ones, is very important. The present article suggested oncology teams agree on treatment methods and the best treatment approach against platinum resistance in malignant ovarian cancers and offer a better treatment solution by considering innovative strategies.
