Scientific titleInternational Collaborative Ovarian Neoplasm studies 1 (ICON1): A trial of adjuvant chemotherapy for early-stage ovarian cancer
Study acronymICON1
Study objectivesCurrently it is not known whether adjuvant chemotherapy is of any benefit in ovarian cancer, and all previous trials have been too small to give reliable evidence. The prognosis for early disease is much better than for advanced disease, which is known to respond to platinum-based chemotherapy, and a similar response in early disease would prolong the lives of many thousands of women each year. However, any benefit must be weighed against the toxicity associated with the treatment employed, and hence reliable evidence regarding the size of any benefit to adjuvant treatment is needed.

The aim of the study was to compare immediate with deferred chemotherapy in patients with early stage epithelial ovarian cancer
