A retrospective, real-life analysis of metronomic oral single-agent cyclophosphamide for the treatment of platinum-pretreated advanced ovarian carcinoma in Italy.

Single-agent MOC is active and very well tolerated in a significant fraction of patients with refractory, recurrent, or residual epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. In the vision of a practical approach, single-agent MOC may be a useful palliative treatment option for patients with poor tolerance to high-dose regimens or widely pretreated. Further studies are needed better to characterize the role of such an approach in clinical practice.
