Abstract

We report a case of recurrent ovarian cancer in which desensitization for a carboplatin hypersensitivity reaction proved useful. The patient was a 65-year-old woman who presented with a recurrence of stage IIIc ovarian cancer. The initial chemotherapy consisted of 6 courses of paclitaxel and carboplatin. Recurrence in the pelvis, splenic hilum and para-aortic lymph nodes was detected 19 months after the final day of treatment. The patient was treated with docetaxel-carbo- platin therapy for the recurrence, but a Grade 3 hypersensitivity reaction to carboplatin was observed during the second course. Carboplatin desensitization was commenced with the third course and 6 courses were completed with no evidence of hypersensitivity reaction. The antitumor effect showed a complete response and the patient has had a disease-free survival thus far. Desensitization for patients diagnosed with a carboplatin hypersensitivity reaction appeared to be a key method of treatment for prolonging the survival time of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer.
