Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with surgery may kill more tumor cells. It
is not yet known whether chemotherapy plus surgery is more effective than chemotherapy alone
in treating patients with stage II or stage III ovarian cancer.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of chemotherapy with or
without surgery in treating patients with stage II or stage III ovarian cancer.
