Summary
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of heated carboplatin given into
the abdomen at the time of surgery in treating patients with stage II-IV ovarian, fallopian
tube, or peritoneal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, work in
different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping
them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Heating oxaliplatin and infusing it
directly into the area around the tumor during surgery may kill more tumor cells.
