“…Residual tumor is also a very important risk factor and a fatal factor. Patients with few residual tissues will have a high survival rate and benefit prognosis [ 20 ]. Physicians have been trying to find better treatment strategies, hoping to detect the occurrence of OC at an early stage, to avoid the regrowth of the tumor as well as to improve the survival rate of patients.…”

“…We did not find that more cycles of pre-operative chemotherapy significantly impacted the rates of bowel resection at interval cytoreduction, although this may have been due to insufficient power. Recent studies have demonstrated a survival benefit to giving more than the standard three cycles of chemotherapy if it enables a complete cytoreduction at interval surgery; ( Phillips et al, 2018 , Plett et al, 2020 ) however, giving five or more cycles may convey worse prognosis even with maximal cytoreduction ( Liu et al, 2020 ). There may be further benefit to giving additional cycles if patients have a response to initial cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy yet are thought to remain at high risk for requiring a bowel resection.…”

“…The median survivals used in the power calculation have been determined using weighted means from published data. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][15][16][17][18] Current evidence on the survival following interval and delayed cytoreductive surgery does not allow to produce a non-inferiority/equivalence sample size calculation to support our hypothesis that the survivals are equivalent. The weighted means calculated for the sample size calculation suggest a fifteen month survival benefit in favour of delayed cytoreductive surgery.…”

“…Data on the role of delayed cytoreductive surgery after more than four cycles are controversial. While some data have shown survival to be similar to that of patients undergoing interval cytoreductive surgery after three cycles, [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] others have reported poorer prognosis of delayed surgery. [9][10][11][12] Conflicting data are due to selection biases such as heterogeneous inclusion criteria, small sample sizes and retrospective study designs.…”
