Stem cell transplant for ovarian cancer--will it prolong survival rate?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes possible: With out knowing stage and cell type of ovarian cancer , in general high dose chemotherapy with autologous ( patients own ) stem cell transplantation is promising to prolong the life, cure is not near yet, as most of the tumors are drug resistant ( or right drug is not there ) and have residual tumor in the body.

Ovarian cancer: It is not a commonly performed procedure because the studies performed have not shown a benefit.
