Since ca 125 is low and if the patient donot have symptoms like ascites or abdominal distension and if cytoreductive surgery is adequate no further chemo is required. As response has been adequate. Follow up the patient closely. If there is change in ca 125 level during follow up. Further treatment shall be required. Only then.
