Does neoadjuvant chemotherapy reduce surgical complexity in patients with advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer?

Background: This study aimed to determine the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) on the complex surgical procedures required in addition to staging surgery for the need to achieve a residual tumor 1 cm or less in a population of stage IIIC-IV epithelial ovarian cancer patients.

Methods: Patients were referred for NACT if preoperative imaging and/or intraoperative evaluation confirmed that it was not possible to achieve a residual tumor size of 1 cm or less with cytoreductive surgery or if the patient had a poor performance status and a high American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score. Surgical complexity was defined as complex or non-complex.
