The Cochrane database of systematic reviews · Feb 2013 · Cochrane systematic review of randomized controlled trials (searched for RCTs) and discussion of non-randomised studies; search up to February 2012
This Cochrane systematic review searched for randomized trials comparing neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy, or chemotherapy alone, combined with surgery for ovarian carcinosarcoma and found no eligible randomized controlled trials. The authors therefore found no evidence to inform decisions about which adjuvant or neoadjuvant regimens to use and called for multicentre RCTs or well-designed non-randomised studies and further molecular research.
No randomized controlled trials were identified comparing neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy, or chemotherapy alone, in women with ovarian carcinosarcoma.
The search strategy identified 297 unique references, all of which were excluded and therefore no data were analysed.
Various chemotherapy regimens have been used historically (including cisplatin; combinations with doxorubicin, ifosfamide, dacarbazine, cyclophosphamide, taxol), but their effectiveness appears mixed.
Authors recommend multicentre or multinational RCTs, or well-designed non-randomised studies using multivariate analysis, and further research into genetic and molecular signalling pathways.
The authors note the importance of addressing quality of life and toxicity given the generally poor prognosis.
Limitations: No randomized controlled trials were found, so no quantitative data or pooled analysis could be performed.; Search was conducted up to February 2012; more recent studies (after that date) would not be included.; Rare disease with likely limited available studies, limiting the ability to draw conclusions..

The latest additions to Dacarbazine's evidence base, and anything that's been retracted.
A deterministic grade of what published studies report for each: strength of evidence, the reported direction, and the largest credible effect, strongest-evidence first. This summarizes findings; it is not a claim that anything works.
