Ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynecologic malignancy, which poses a great threat to female health. Anti-angiogenic therapy could bring clinical benefit for patients with ovarian cancer. Apatinib, an oral small-molecule vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 inhibitor, has shown notable therapeutic effect in a wide variety of tumors. We report a woman with advanced ovarian cancer who received apatinib at 250 mg/day after failure of multiple-line treatment regimens, followed by discussion through review of literature. The patient has quite a long progression-free survival time of 24 months, with a satisfactory quality of life. Apatinib monotherapy may provide an additional option for advanced ovarian cancer，but it still needs further observation and exploration.
