Objective
To examine the effect of hospital
procedure volume and other prognostic variables on overall survival
outcome and likelihood of receiving standard recommended care among
patients with advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer.
Conclusions
Hospital ovarian cancer surgical
volume ≥ 21 cases/year is associated with a higher likelihood of
patients with Stage IIIC/IV epithelial ovarian cancer receiving standard
treatment (surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy). Even after
adjusting for treatment paradigm and other factors, hospital volume ≥ 21
cases/year was significantly predictive of improved overall survival
outcome.
