Summary

This study tested whether zafirlukast, an asthma drug, can control ovarian cancer that is only detected by rising CA-125 levels in the blood. Five women with this type of relapse took the drug to see if it could lower their CA-125 levels. The goal was to delay or prevent further tumor growth without using chemotherapy right away.
