OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to serum albumin (< 30 g/dL vs 30-35 g/dL vs > 35 g/dL), FIGO stage (stage IIIC vs stage IV), and histological grade (well-differentiated [grade 1] vs moderately well-differentiated [grade 2] vs poorly differentiated [grade 3]). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
