Abstract
The addition of i.p. colloidal radioactive chromic P following total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and omentectomy in women with stage I ovarian cancer does not cause significant morbidity. Preliminary results suggest that this regimen appears to increase the rate of local control of disease. In 21 unselected patients, there was 1 incident of small bowel obstruction. Fourteen of these patients were followed for at least 1 1/2 yr. All are alive without evidence of disease. These facts suggest that a national prospective study to investigate the efficacy of this treatment for stage I ovarian cancer is warranted.
