Abstract:
A method is provided for treatment of cancer, particularly ovarian cancer, using a combination of a taxane, a platinum coordination compound and interferon-gamma. In particular, the method provides treatment of ovarian cancer with a combination of paclitaxel, carboplatin and interferon-gamma. The addition of interferon-gamma to the standard chemotherapeutic treatment using paclitaxel and carboplatin provides an improved therapeutic outcome.
