740 ESGO certification for advanced ovarian cancer surgery: the experience of an oncology center to aim accreditation

Abstract

Stratifying by stage the residual tumour (OR=2.4; p=0.0001) , age (OR=1.9 P=0.0001), and the performance status (OR=1.2; p=0.03) resulted as independent survival prognostic factors according to Cox multivariate analysis. Conclusion* Our data suggest that patients aged !70 can tolerate radical surgical treatments in the same way as younger patients without a significant increase in morbidity and, obviously, without ignoring the appropriate geriatric precautions. Furthermore, maximal surgical effort with optimal cytoreduction should be considered the gold standard regardless of age.Therefore, our data underlines the importance of managing these patients within Gynecologic Oncology units equipped with a multidisciplinary team.
