Рак яичника – одна из наиболее часто встречающихся злокачественных опухолей у женщин. Несмотря на высокую чувствительность к противоопухолевой химиотерапии (ремиссия отмечается более чем у 80% пациенток, получающих в качестве
1-й линии стандартную терапию препаратами платины и паклитаксела), наступают рецидив заболевания и резистентность к дальнейшим видам терапии. Таким образом, возникает необходимость разработки новых нетоксичных методов терапии с учетом биологических свойств опухоли. Тамоксифен улучшает результаты у интенсивно предлеченных больных c метастатическим раком яичника и обладает при этом невысокой токсичностью.
Ovarian cancer is one of the most widely spread among women malignant tumors. Despite high sensitivity to anti-cancer chemotherapy (responses are awaited from more than 80% of women, receiving standard therapy with platinum and paclitaxel) recurrence of the disease takes place and the tumor becomes resistant to further therapy. Thus, it becomes necessary to invent new types of non-toxic therapy, taking into consideration biological qualities of the tumor. Tamoxifen therapy has efficacy in previously intensively treated patients with metastatic ovarian cancer, and it has low toxicity as well.
