Re: TAXOLFrom: Dr. Guillermo R. Suttora (grs2@hpn.sspn.sld.ar)Tue May 28 15:06:22 1996
Dear Colleagues: YES, I think everybody is happy with taxol&carboplatin, in our Hospital we use it with good results (disgracefully the price is getting too high for us to continue using it), but we don't have to forget that the good results depends in the ammount of citoreduction "you" (the gyn-onc surgeon) can do. The chemotherapy treatment has augmented his scores through the years, but overall we are still in the same ammount of high stage cases as ten years ago, then it's not the time to try to come up with better diagnostic tools?. AND also have a look to the overall numbers of patients surviving, and ask yourself, it's not time that the general ob-gyn, the general surgeon, as they diagnose ovarian cancer in a surgery call or send the patient to a gyn-onc? It's frequent around the world (in numerous countries) that when they diagnose it, they do the surgery and when they see that the patient is worsening, send her to the gyn-onc&med-onc, so citorreduction and chemotherapy is the last word. HOPE these comments are a good start for discussion, I'm a Gyn-Onc Surgeon, so what I write comes from personal experience.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
