Abstract

Intraperitoneal radioactive chromic phosphate was administered to 69 patients with Stage I and II ovarian carcinoma who had undergone comprehensive surgical staging. Intestinal obstruction requiring surgical intervention occurred in four patients and was the most severe complication. Abdominal pain was the most common post-therapy complaint. Attention to time and technique of drug administration could minimize complications.
