Recurrent Ovarian Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
This study aims to investigate the effect of involved-field radiotherapy for recurrent ovarian cancer after primary standard treatment. We will investigate whether the addition of involved-field RT improves 2-year PFS in those patients than that of historical data (only with other standard salvage treatments as systemic chemotherapy ± maximum tumor resection).
Interventions
After the diagnosis of recurrences, patients will receive involved-field radiotherapy (gross tumor volume + margin) with any radiation dose scheme (≥45 Gy Biological Equivalent dose) as physician's discretion.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) | 2 years after radiotherapy |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Local control of recurred lesions | 2 years after radiotherapy | — |
| Any other new recurrence events | 2 years after radiotherapy | — |
| Radiotherapy-related complications | 2 years after radiotherapy | — |
| Chemotherapy-free interval (The interval to delay the need for a new chemotherapy regimen for disease progression) | 2 years after radiotherapy | It means the interval between the last date performing the previous chemotherapy (before the start of involved-field radiotherapy) and the first date performing the new regimen of chemotherapy (for the disease failures after the involve-field radiotherapy). We want to measure this interval because we want to check the capability of involved-field radiotherapy to delay the need for the new regimen of chemotherapy for the progressive diseases. |
