Maximal cytoreductive effort in epithelial ovarian cancer surgery.
The surgical management of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer involves cytoreduction, or removal of grossly-evident tumor. Residual disease after surgical cytoreduction of ovarian cancer has been shown to be strongly associated with survival.

Splenic metastasis from ovarian cancer is unusual. Most splenic metastases are encountered in the setting of widespread visceral metastases. We present 6 cases of splenic metastasis of epithelial ovarian cancer.

متن کاملThe role of cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC in epithelial ovarian cancer.
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most common cause of death from gynecological cancer in the Western world. The current standard treatment of these patients consists of cytoreduction and systemic chemotherapy. One of the most distinct features of EOC is the tendency to disseminate into the peritoneal cavity and remain confined to the peritoneum and intra-abdominal viscera. This makes it a...
