Platinum Resistance in Ovarian Cancer:Limitations of PFI Binary Classification and Potential Improvements
Ovarian cancer is a common gynecologic malignancy.In clinical practice,recurrent ovarian cancer is mainly classified into two categories on the basis of platinum-free interval,platinum-resistant and platinum-sensitive,corresponding to different treatment modalities and prognoses.The treatment of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer is challenging.Some scholars have pointed out limitations in the binary classification of platinum-free interval.In this article,the classification of recurrent ovarian cancer,the treatment challenges of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer,the limitations of the platinum-free interval binary classification,and new classification perspectives were reviewed to help physicians enhance their understanding on the research progress in ovarian cancer classification and develop more effective treatment strategies.
