Article Synopsis
- The survey aimed to understand the health concerns and characteristics of long-term ovarian cancer survivors (LTS) to improve follow-up care.
- Conducted by NOGGO and shared with ENGOT and GCIG members, the anonymous survey included 68 questions and gathered responses from 1,044 LTS across 14 countries.
- Findings highlighted that LTS who survived 5-10 years reported worse health than those over 10 years, with almost half experiencing persistent symptoms like fatigue and pain, emphasizing the need for specialized long-term care.
Objective: Primary debulking surgery has been the preferred surgical route and is still considered a quality indicator for advanced ovarian cancer surgery. However, a significant number of patients are not amenable to upfront surgery. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy and interval debulking surgery may be the most suitable approach for this group.

This study focused on the mediator role of self-compassion in the relationship between maladaptive perfectionism and social anxiety symptoms controlling self-esteem. It is hypothesized that maladaptive perfectionism would be related to lower levels of self-compassion and lower levels of self-compassion related to greater social anxiety symptoms controlling self-esteem.

- The study aims to explore the significance of omental disease and assess the impact of omentectomy in managing non-endometrioid endometrial cancers (non-EEC).
- It analyzed 203 patients who had surgical treatment at a gynecologic oncology center, categorizing them based on omentectomy and omental metastasis presence to compare various clinical characteristics and survival outcomes.
- Results indicated that patients without omental metastases had significantly better 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival rates compared to those with metastases, suggesting that omentectomy might not be beneficial for non-EEC patients.
