Abstract: Consolidation therapy or maintenance therapy for complete response to conventional treatment can delay recurrence of ovarian cancer. Consolidation or maintenance therapy programs include chemotherapy, radiotherapy and biological treatment. Clinical trials confirm that these treatment agents have their advantages and disadvantages, and the effects are quite different. Now scientists are still exploring new agents, for finding the best pathway to delay or even prevent recurrence.
