Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Combining surgery with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. It
is not yet known whether chemotherapy before surgery is more effective than chemotherapy
after surgery in treating ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying chemotherapy given before surgery to see
how well it works compared to chemotherapy given after surgery with or without additional
surgery in treating patients with stage III or stage IV ovarian cancer, peritoneal cancer, or
fallopian tube cancer.
