Measure
Carboplatin/Paclitaxel
Patients received chemotherapy on day 1 of a 21 day cycle for 6 cycles. Paclitaxel was given via peripheral or central IV catheter at the dose of 175 mg/m2 over 3 hours. IV carboplatin followed using a dose of Area Under the Curve (AUC) equal to 5 with creatinine clearance based on Jelliffe formula.
