Ultra-radical surgery versus standard-radical surgery for the primary cytoreduction of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer; long-term tertiary center experiences.

Objective: To compare overall survival (OS) and morbidity outcomes in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian/tubal/peritoneal cancer undergoing standard-radical (SR) and ultra-radical (UR) surgical procedures based on NICE classification.

Study Design: This retrospective study analyzed data from 282 patients with 2014 FIGO stage III-IV epithelial ovarian cancer operated on between January 2006 and January 2019. The study compared OS, progression-free survival (PFS), and morbidity between SR and UR surgeries.

Patterns of diaphragm involvement in stage 3B/3C ovarian-tubal-peritoneal epithelial cancer patients and survival outcomes.

Purpose: Demonstrate survival outcomes of stage 3B/3C ovarian-tubal-peritoneal epithelial cancer patients who had metastases on diaphragm.

Methods: 141 patients who had undergone diaphragm surgery as a part of primary cytoreductive surgery procedures performed for stage 3B and 3C ovarian-tubal-peritoneal epithelial cancers were reviewed retrospectively. Patients who were administered neoadjuvant chemotherapy and patients who were suboptimally cytoreduced were not included to the study.

Complementary surgery for cervical cancer patients inadequately treated with extrafacial hysterectomy.

Objective: To evaluate surgical outcomes and survival outcomes of cervical cancer patients who underwent complementary surgery after an extrafacial hysterectomy METHODS: Patients with cervical cancer, who underwent extrafacial hysterectomy initially and thereafter underwent complementary surgery were reviewed retrospectively. Complementary surgery consisted of radical parametrectomy, proximal vaginectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy.

Results: Twenty patients were evaluated.

Metastasis patterns of the spleen and association with survival outcomes in advanced ovarian-tubal-peritoneal epithelial cancer.

Purpose: To evaluate the significance of parenchymal, hilar and capsular involvement of the spleen with regard to survival.

Methods: All patients who underwent primary cytoreductive surgery for advanced ovarian-tubal-peritoneal (OTP) epithelial cancer were reviewed retrospectively. Stage 3C patients who had an upper abdomen involvement and who were optimally debulked were included.
