Abstract:

Ovarian cancer is insidious and has a high recurrence rate and mortality rate, which seriously threatens women′s life and health. In recent years, the development of pharmaceutical nanotechnology has provided new opportunities for tumor therapy. Polyethylene glycol liposome doxorubicin (PLD) is a small molecular nano particle made by embedding doxorubicin in polyethylene glycol liposomes. It is widely used as a new doxorubicin nano preparation because of its strong targeting, low toxicity to bone marrow and heart and stability of drugs in vivo. It has been proved that PLD alone or in combination can effectively improve the survival time of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer. This paper reviews the research progress of PLD in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer with single drug, or combined with trabecotidine, or combined with platinum drugs and maintenance therapy, in order to find a more safe, effective and individualized clinical treatment.
