Secondary surgical cytoreduction needs to be assessed taking into account surgical technique, completeness of cytoreduction, and extent of disease

Abstract: Recent evidence suggested that secondary surgical cytoreduction followed by chemotherapy does not result in longer overall survival in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer. This statement is based on a phase III multicenter, randomized clinical trial that lacks a description of the surgical protocol, the surgical technique, and the surgical variables. In a study that evaluates surgical cytoreduction, it is mandatory to assess the grade of cytoreductive surgery achieved (Sugarbaker PH, Lang… Show more

“…First is the disease type, and the other is the extent and volume of peritoneal spread. Based on current literature pseudomyxoma peritonei, mesothelioma, peritoneal metastases of tumors of appendicular and colorectal origin, and ovarian cancers have shown benefit with CRS and HIPEC [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis is used to assess volume and extent of peritoneal spread and helps to determine feasibility of optimal cytoreduction.…”

“…LGSOC is typically diagnosed at a younger age, has less aggressive behavior, and is associated with a better prognosis than HGSOC [ 3 ], but it is relatively chemo-resistant [ 4 ]. For that, primary maximal cytoreductive surgery [ 5 , 6 , 7 ], including total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, and resection of macroscopic carcinomatosis lesion [ 8 , 9 , 10 ], is the cornerstone of the treatment and it is essential for the clinical prognosis of patients with advanced LGSOC [ 11 ].…”

“…In recent decades, treatment of OVCA has seemingly improved, but such treatment is still challenging due to the complex clinical manifestations, biological features and molecular mechanisms [6][7][8][9][10][11]. Interval debulking surgery (IDS) is used to reduce the number of tumour cells and is typically followed by neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), including carboplatin and paclitaxel [12][13][14][15][16]. But OVCA patients often still meet with an unfavourable prognosis due to late diagnosis [17][18][19][20][21].…”
