carboplatin monotherapy

"carbo" is probably "carboplatina", a chemotherapeutic agent.

Single-agent carbo(platin)

Single-agent carboplatin is acceptable as first-line chemotherapy for ovarian cancer, with its superior toxicity profile and equivalent survival benefit compared with other regimens, according to the results of a randomized trial reported in the August 17, 2002 issue of The Lancet.
http://csn.cancer.org/node/196114

The report of the International Collaborative Ovarian Neoplasm (ICON) Group (August 17, p 505)1 concluded that single-agent carbo-platin is a reasonable option as first-line chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. Despite these results, we believe that carboplatin plus paclitaxel remains the standard of care for previously untreated patients with advanced ovarian cancer

1.In this small series with a median follow-up of>2 years single-
agent carbo has so far achieved a relapse rate of 5%.
