Seems a double dose of chemotherapy that making a significant difference. A study from the james Cancer Hospital in ohio shows giving women with stage three Ovarian Cancer an intravenous dose followed by a dose directly into the abdomen boosts survival by 10 percent. At the three year mark 81 percent of the women survived compared to 71 percent who only got iv chemotherapy. And half of those women who were treated with a double dose, 10 years ago are still alive today which doctors say is a huge improvement. Now, in the study however some women did say that the side effects from the chemotherapy in the abdomen seemed worse but researchers are still studying this therapy. Theyre not exactly sure why it works but they hope that it can help many more people in the future. Rick and monica. Okay, thank you ali. Thank you.
