Brief Summary

Ovarian cancer was mostly diagnosed at late stage (III/IV) with high rate of recurrence after first line of therapy by optimal cytoreductive sugery and 6cycle of TP chemotherapy. There is no standard maintainance therapy for BRCA1/2 wide-type ovarian cancer. We developed an adjuvant chemotherapy of "three steps" (ACTS). It is adding CTX+VP-16(second step) 6cycle and CTX+CBP(third steps) to firstline chemotherapy (first step). The aim of this study is to verify the effectivity and safety of ACTS in BRCA1/2 wide-type ovarian cancer patients.
