- <p>Isolated nodal recurrence of ovarian cancer is infrequent. For selected patients cytoreductive surgery can improve the survival. The response rate for second line chemotherapy for recurrent ovarian cancer is around 50%–60%, 20%–30% and 10% in platinum-sensitive, platinum-resistant and platinum-refractory patients respectively. IMRT uses a computer algorithm to optimize dose to the target and minimize dose to organs at risk by modulating and shaping the beam either with static or dynamic beams. Many studies showed that higher doses of radiotherapy for limited recurrence or oligometastatic cancer improve good local control in different types of cancer, mainly lung, breast and colorectal cancers. Several retrospective studies for localized ovarian relapse showed the efficacy of radiotherapy doses in the range of 45Gy–60 Gy using involved field.</p> <p>In this article we are presenting a case of extensive refractory isolated nodal recurrence of ovarian cancer which was successfully treated with Rapid Arc radiotherapy technique.</p>
