Bacillus Calmette-Guérin immunotherapy in ovarian cancer.

Forty-six advanced ovarian cancer patients treated with conventional modalities with the addition of bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy showed prolonged survival when compared to controls not given BCG.

Nonetheless, patients are surviving longer in the face of advanced disease.
