4.Radiotherapy:
Abdominal radiotherapy gives salvage treatment with high morbidity. Dysgerminomas
are very sensitive to radiation, but lead to infertility.
5.Immunotherapy:
Cytokines like interferon-a, r and interleukin-2 are used.
Monoclonal antibodies are directed towards ovarian cancer associated antigens.
Others are CA125 – ovarex, HMFG – antimucin MonAb, Herceptin – breast ca.
6.Hormonal therapy:
Progestational agents : Used in the treatment of recurrent well differentiated endometrioid carcinomas.
Tamoxifen : For well differentiated ca.
Leuprolide acetate: Is a gonadotropin agonist.
Aromatase inhibitors : letrozole, anastrazole, exemestane for breast ca and relapsed ovarian ca.
