Abstract

Background: Ovarian carcinoma is the fifth leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The tumour mostly associated with various factors such as advanced age, early menstruation and gene association. We aimed to highlight the effectiveness of second-line chemotherapy in the management of ovarian cancer patients in Sudan.

Methods: The data collected from the hospital patients' records for five years period of time, including 62 patients with ovarian cancer who were treated by the second line platinum-resistant chemotherapy.

Results: The peak prevalence of the disease was found in Al-Jazeera state while the least in Al-Gadarif state. Age group above 55 years was the most affected group. The vast majority of patients showed partially reduction in mass's size. Others had complete disappearing of the mass or continuing of the tumor growth. All patients received a variant number of cycles of chemotherapy 3, 6, 2, 4, 5, 1 cycle respectively. 79.4% of the patients had achieved the normal value of cancer antigen 125 (CA125) levels after the treatment. In 50% of patients, cancer recurred after 1-2 months, 32.2% after 3-4 months and 17.8% after 5-6 months. The serous adenocarcinoma was found to be the most histological type whereas the least two types observed were clear cell carcinoma and serous papillary adenocarcinoma.

Conclusion: Our findings suggested that, Al-Jazeera state citizens were more vulnerable to resist first-line chemotherapy than others. The Sudanese patients with ovarian cancer may have a better response to Gemzar but further studies are needed to confirm this result.
