PubMed and EMBASE via OvidSP were searched using developed search strings to identify studies that used chemotherapeutics in a DDS in ovarian cancer animal models. All studies were first screened by title and abstract according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subsequently studies were more specifically assessed by full text. Screenings were performed by two reviewers (RR and WD). Full text studies excluded for “others” were: (1) no full text was available or only an abstract that did not include sufficient information (n = 12); (2) conference abstract of a previously assessed full-text study (n = 5); (3) the study included only a biodistribution experiment (n = 4).
