Background: Radical oophorectomy was first performed by Hudson in order to remove an "intact ovarian tumour lodged in the pelvis, with the entire peritoneum remaining attached". We report 16 cases of radical oophorectomy done at our institute in the past 3 years and have analysed the perioperative morbidity as well as feasibility of performing the surgery without much of perioperative complication.
Methods: Twenty-three patients with advanced ovarian cancer who underwent modified en bloc pelvic resection at our institute, between November 2018 and October 2021, were initially enrolled.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors of granulosa cell tumors (GCTs) among ovarian cancer cases at a medical institute from 2000 to 2017.
- GCTs represented 2.66% of ovarian cancers, with a median patient age of 43 years; many patients were unstaged, and a notable percentage underwent fertility-sparing surgeries.
- The analysis showed that tumor-related factors like hemorrhage and tumor size significantly impacted failure-free survival (FFS), while treatment-related interventions like adjuvant chemotherapy did not show a clear improvement in FFS, suggesting that biological factors of the tumor may be more significant than treatment methods.
