Alternate Title

Bicalutamide and Goserelin in Treating Patients With Cancer of the Ovary, Fallopian Tube, or Peritoneum

Basic Trial Information

Objectives

I. Determine the time-to-treatment failure in patients with ovarian 
epithelial, fallopian tube, or peritoneal carcinoma, in second or greater 
remission, treated with bicalutamide and goserelin.

II. Assess luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone suppression in 
correlation with serum vascular endothelial growth factor levels, and 
determine if these levels are related to time to treatment failure in these 
patients.

III. Correlate the presence or absence of androgen receptor tissue expression 
by immunohistochemistry and androgen receptor gene trinucleotide repeat length 
to time to treatment failure in these patients.
