Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of mesenteric lymph node (MLN) involvement in the prognosis of advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) patients who underwent surgeries from 2007 to 2017.
- Out of 83 patients analyzed, 51.8% had positive MLN involvement, which correlated significantly with involvement in pelvic and aortic lymph nodes and deeper bowel infiltration.
- The findings suggest that negative MLN status is associated with better overall and disease-free survival, highlighting the importance of radical bowel resection during surgery for AOC with bowel involvement.
