Ovarian cancer is treated with conjugates of an anticancer agent and anAngiopep-2 polypeptide analog (i.e. apolypeptide comprising an ammo acid sequence at least 80% identical to Seq. IDNO:97). Such treatment includes utility in treatingmetastatic ovarian cancer and in treating patients who have previouslyexhibited resistance to standard chemotherapeuticagents. Preferred anticancer agents include taxanes while the preferredconjugate is ANG1005, a conjugate comprising threemolecules of paclitaxel conjugated to the peptide Angiopep-2.
