Improving the prediction of surgical outcome at secondary cytoreduction in patients with ovarian cancer: Results from retrospective part of HELP-ER study NOGGO TR2/ENGOT OV47-TR.
Abstract:5558 Background: Complete resection at secondary cytoreductive surgery is associated with prolonged progression free and overall survival for patients with relapsed ovarian cancer. Secondary cytoreductive surgery has no impact on survival rates, if macroscopically tumor clearance cannot be achieved. Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary perioperative morbidity and mortality, selection of patients who will undergo secondary tumor debulking is crucial. This study aims to improve upon the contemporary Arbeits… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
