Combination Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Ovarian Cancer

United States Patent 5047407, titled "Combination therapy for the treatment of ovarian cancer," describes a treatment approach for ovarian cancer involving a combination of four standard chemotherapy drugs.

The patent, filed by Dr. Roy Hertz, a well-respected oncologist, and Dr. Kenneth K. Tanaka, outlines a therapy that combines the effective but toxic chemotherapeutic agents cisplatin, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and 5-fluorouracil in an elevated dose to address the issue of multi-drug resistance associated with ovarian cancer.

By using equal oral doses of each chemotherapeutic agent, this treatment overcomes common chemotherapy obstacles to enhance effects of drugs, offering a more successful protocol for care.

According to the findings in patent 5047407, multi-drug resistance tumors predominantly resurface after standard treatment when smaller doses of single drugs are administered individually.
