The impact of systematic para-aortic and pelvic lymphadenectomy on survival in patients with optimally debulked ovarian cancer



Abstract

AIM: The objective of this study was to verify the impact of systematic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy on survival in patients with ovarian cancer.
CONCLUSION: This study has demonstrated that the systematic lymphadenectomy had benefit only in patients with ovarian cancer macroscopically confined to the pelvis. In patients with clear cell adenocarcinoma, systematic lymphadenectomy was beneficial. To the contrary, systematic lymphadenectomy had no benefit on OS or PFS in patients with advanced ovarian cancer if optimally debulked.
