Delay in Time to Adjuvant Chemotherapy and its Impact on Oncological Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Optimal Cytoreductive Surgery for Advanced Ovarian Cancer: Analysis of 1480 Cases From the Indian HIPEC Registry.

Background And Objectives: The impact of delay in initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy following optimal CRS in different settings of treatment for advanced ovarian cancer needs to be studied with special reference to CRS HIPEC.

Methods: The 1480 advanced EOC patients underwent optimal CRS, followed by adjuvant chemotheraphy, with or without intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy in Normothermic or Hyperthermic form. Interval between the day of surgery and start of adjuvant chemotherapy and its impact on outcome was analyzed.
